Maya's colon cancer treatment fund

Supporting Maya through colon cancer: medication, transport to the Auckland Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.

Auckland
Maya was diagnosed with colon cancer in September. The oncology team at the Auckland Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Maya is 51, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until September, 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 the Auckland Oncology Institute 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 $8,600 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $2,150 • Transport to the Auckland Oncology Institute: $370 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,500 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $580 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Isla
