Help Kimberly through 12 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer

Kimberly is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Kimberly was diagnosed with stomach cancer in February. The oncology team at Gatineau Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Kimberly is 42, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until February, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Gatineau Regional Medical Center 2 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly. We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $7,800 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,500 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,800 • Transport to Gatineau Regional Medical Center: $500 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Eleanor
