Help Lena through 12 rounds of treatment for stage 2 breast cancer
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Katowice Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Lena was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in July. The oncology team at Katowice Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Lena is 41, worked as a bakery worker until July, 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 Katowice Cancer Centre 5 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 $2,800 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,700
• Household costs while unable to work: $330
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $260
• Transport to Katowice Cancer Centre: $510
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Keep going, Magdalena. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Love from Jakarta.
Sending good thoughts. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 12 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Katowice.
Sending strength, Magdalena. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
hope things get better soon, Magdalena. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
