Maya's multiple myeloma treatment fund

12 rounds of treatment are planned at Hamilton University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Hamilton
In August I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. My oncology team at Hamilton University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 47, I worked as a taxi driver until August, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Hamilton University Hospital 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $3,050 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $920 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $360 • Scans and lab work: $1,770 If you're reading this, thank you.
