Help Liliana through 10 rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer

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

Liliana was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in March. The oncology team at Sacramento Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Liliana is 34, worked as a taxi driver until March, 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 Sacramento 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $8,500 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $800 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,000 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,300 • Transport to Sacramento Cancer Centre: $400 Thanks for reading all this.
