Help Serena through 8 rounds of treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma

Supporting Serena through Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Rome Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.

Serena was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in June. The oncology team at Rome Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Serena is 55, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until June, 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 Rome Regional Medical Center 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 $3,700 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,900 • Scans and lab work: $590 • Household costs while unable to work: $680 • Transport to Rome Regional Medical Center: $530 Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Tommaso

  1. Quick update: $311 raised so far (8%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 5% now ($176). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.
