Help Sara through 8 rounds of treatment for cervical cancer
Supporting Sara through cervical cancer: medication, transport to the Catania Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇮🇹 Catania, Sicily, Italy4,589 views
Sara was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at the Catania Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Sara is 57, worked as a primary school teacher 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 the Catania 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 $8,950 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,250
• Scans and lab work: $1,000
• Transport to the Catania Oncology Institute: $660
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $350
• Household costs while unable to work: $690
Every share and every dollar helps.

thinking of you, Aurora. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Catania
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Thika.
Stay strong. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
