Help Sharon through 6 rounds of treatment for a rare sarcoma
Sharon is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Sharon was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in November. The oncology team at Leeds Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in February. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Sharon is 31, worked as a tailor 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 Leeds Regional Medical Center 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 $7,100 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $570
• Transport to Leeds Regional Medical Center: $530
• Household costs while unable to work: $980
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,020
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
