Help Yvonne through 4 rounds of treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Kingston University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Yvonne was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at Kingston University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Yvonne is 46, worked as a bus conductor until July, 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 Kingston University Hospital 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $3,450 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,400
• Scans and lab work: $155
• Transport to Kingston University Hospital: $145
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $230
• Household costs while unable to work: $520
Thanks for reading all this.
Updates from Dwayne
Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($361). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($238 in total) the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Hang in there, Dwayne. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Kingston.
Keep going, Dwayne. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
thanks for sharing this, Dwayne. This could happen to any of us. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
