Michal's acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment fund
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Haifa Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇮🇱 Haifa, Haifa, Israel8,151 views
Michal was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in April. The oncology team at Haifa Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Michal is 26, worked as a taxi driver 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 Haifa Cancer Centre 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 $11,400 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,250
• Scans and lab work: $1,500
• Transport to Haifa Cancer Centre: $450
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $690
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,510
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Praying for you, Yoav. Hope the doctors have good news. Take care.
You're not alone, Yoav. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Praying for you, Yoav. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Mesa
