Help Margaux through 4 rounds of treatment for kidney cancer
Margaux is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇨🇦 Alberta, Canada4,547 views
Margaux was diagnosed with kidney cancer in June. The oncology team at the Red Deer Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Margaux is 25, worked as a bakery worker 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 the Red Deer Oncology Institute 4 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 $3,850 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $920
• Transport to the Red Deer Oncology Institute: $590
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $800
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,540
I hope life is good to you.

thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. After 14 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
stay strong, Florian. Shared this with my family.
Keep going, Florian. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
how is Margaux doing now?
Best of luck, Florian. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Margaux.
It's all in the list in the story. scans and lab work is the big one at $920, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 40 people at work. God bless.
Stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Red Deer.
Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Abbottabad!
You're not alone, Florian. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Red Deer.
