Kinsley's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund

Kinsley is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Kinsley was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in June. The oncology team at the San Diego Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Kinsley is 56, worked as a taxi driver 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 the San Diego Oncology Institute 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 $3,150 goes: โ€ข Transport to the San Diego Oncology Institute: $760 โ€ข Household costs while unable to work: $1,650 โ€ข Scans and lab work: $740 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Asher

  1. Thank you all. We're at 5% now ($152). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for household costs while unable to work is now scheduled.

  2. Quick update: $76 raised so far (2%). I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

    Keep going. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
