Sheffield
Jennifer was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August. The oncology team at Sheffield Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Jennifer is 48, worked as a bank teller 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 Sheffield 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 $5,150 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,250 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $290 • Scans and lab work: $610 If you're reading this, thank you.
