St. Petersburg
Skylar was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in May. The oncology team at St. Petersburg Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Skylar is 30, worked as a bus conductor 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 St. Petersburg Cancer Centre 4 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 $3,600 goes: • Scans and lab work: $1,100 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $740 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,760 Thanks for reading all this.
