Hamilton
Lata was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at Hamilton Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Lata is 27, worked as a bus conductor until August, 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 Hamilton Regional Medical Center 3 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $11,300 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,000 • Scans and lab work: $1,250 • Transport to Hamilton Regional Medical Center: $430 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $720 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,900 Thanks for being kind about this.
