Help Stella through 4 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma

Stella is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Stella was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in December. The oncology team at Mississauga Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in March. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Stella is 37, worked as a primary school teacher until December, 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 Mississauga Cancer Centre 5 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $7,100 goes: • Scans and lab work: $760 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,000 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $340 Glad we found this place. - Waylon

      Is there anything that isn't money that would help Stella?

      • Waylon G. HansonOwnerAnswer

        Thank you. If you're in Mississauga I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.

      Keep going, Waylon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Quezon City.
