Help Lina through 4 rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer

Supporting Lina through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to Berlin Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.

Berlin
Lina was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in June. The oncology team at Berlin Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Lina is 54, worked as a tailor until June, 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 Berlin 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 $12,000 goes: • Scans and lab work: $1,600 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,250 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $640 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,510 Thank you so much. - Ben

        is there anything that isn't money that would help Lina?

          Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about scans and lab work, advice is welcome too. Good question.
