Help Raffaella through 4 rounds of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Latina University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇮🇹 Italy2,859 views
Raffaella was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in May. The oncology team at Latina University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Raffaella is 28, worked as a tailor until May, 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 Latina University Hospital 3 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 $5,000 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $760
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,600
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $460
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,180
Thanks for reading all this.

you're not alone, Roberto. Hope the doctors have good news.
Hang in there, Roberto. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. It's not much but it's yours.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Lahore so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Los Angeles.
