Maja's cervical cancer treatment fund
Maja is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world3,037 views
Maja was diagnosed with cervical cancer in April. The oncology team at Katowice Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Maja is 41, worked as a bank teller until April, 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 Katowice 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 $1,150 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $220
• Household costs while unable to work: $750
• Transport to Katowice Cancer Centre: $180
I hope life is good to you.

Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team comes first ($220) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
