Help Patricia through 10 rounds of treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Saint Paul University Hospital; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.

Patricia was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Saint Paul University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Patricia is 25, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 Saint Paul University Hospital 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 $12,050 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $610
• Transport to Saint Paul University Hospital: $450
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,750
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $9,240
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Rockford this morning.
gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Phuket so I could bring a meal. God bless
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Johannesburg so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Hugo. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
thinking of you and your family, Hugo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
