Latoya's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Spanish Town Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In July I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Spanish Town Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 26, I worked as a tailor until July, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Spanish Town Regional Medical Center 5 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $3,750 goes:
• Transport to Spanish Town Regional Medical Center: $250
• Household costs while unable to work: $570
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,750
• Scans and lab work: $180
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
