Jessica was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in May. The oncology team at Freiburg Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Jessica is 52, worked as a primary school teacher until May, 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 Freiburg Cancer Centre 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,450 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $680
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,350
• Transport to Freiburg Cancer Centre: $420
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jessica.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is the biggest at $680. Thanks for asking.
You're not alone, Peter. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Stay strong, Peter. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Nagpur
