Bronx
Kimberly was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in June. The oncology team at Bronx Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Kimberly is 46, worked as a construction supervisor until June, 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 Bronx Cancer Centre 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 $5,950 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $330 • Transport to Bronx Cancer Centre: $1,100 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,050 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,470 Glad we found this place. - Thomas
