Lucy's acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment fund

6 rounds of treatment are planned at Parramatta Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Parramatta
Lucy was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in December. The oncology team at Parramatta Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in February. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Lucy is 29, worked as a bank teller until December, 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 Parramatta Regional Medical Center 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $10,500 goes: • Scans and lab work: $590 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $750 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,400 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,760 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Jonathan

Updates from Jonathan

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,250 in total) I made the first payment toward nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    Patient and understanding

    This is what community support looks like. They didn't just offer generic advice; they provided personalized help tailored to my specific situation.
