Isabella's multiple myeloma treatment fund
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Southampton Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Isabella was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Southampton Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Isabella is 41, worked as a taxi driver until August, 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 Southampton 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 $11,150 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,250
• Scans and lab work: $1,100
• Transport to Southampton Cancer Centre: $830
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $360
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,610
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
