Mariana's multiple myeloma treatment fund

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

Mariana was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in April. The oncology team at Nashville Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Mariana is 50, worked as a hairdresser 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 Nashville Regional Medical Center 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 $7,100 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $740 • Transport to Nashville Regional Medical Center: $620 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,740 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Carmen
