Help Piper through 6 rounds of treatment for cervical cancer
Piper is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Piper was diagnosed with cervical cancer in February. The oncology team at the Aberdeen Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Piper is 47, worked as a shop owner until February, 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 Aberdeen Oncology Institute 2 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 $9,550 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,000
• Scans and lab work: $870
• Transport to the Aberdeen Oncology Institute: $720
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $560
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,400
If you're reading this, thank you.

Wishing you the best, Samuel. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. I hope May is when things finally get easier
