Help Patricia through 6 rounds of treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Sacramento University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Patricia was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in November. The oncology team at Sacramento University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in February. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Patricia is 49, worked as a hairdresser until November, 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 University Hospital 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 $11,250 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,250
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,250
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $750
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Cali
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Sacramento.
Thanks for sharing this, Alberto. Hope the doctors have good news.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Sacramento.
hang in there, Alberto. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
