Ivy's colon cancer treatment fund

Ivy is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Ivy was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at Dallas Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Ivy is 26, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 Dallas Regional Medical Center 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $7,600 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $510 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,450 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,640 Thanks for reading all this. - Natalia
