Bergamo
Marisa was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August. The oncology team at Bergamo University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Marisa is 42, worked as a hairdresser until August, 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 Bergamo University Hospital 2 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 $6,700 goes: • Transport to Bergamo University Hospital: $580 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,750 • Household costs while unable to work: $900 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $470 Thanks for reading all this.
