Supporting Natalia through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to Tallahassee Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.

Tallahassee
In September I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at Tallahassee Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in December. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 24, I worked as a bakery worker until September, 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 Tallahassee Regional Medical Center 5 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 $11,400 goes: • Transport to Tallahassee Regional Medical Center: $680 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,250 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,550 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $920 Thanks for reading all this. - Natalia

Updates from Natalia

  1. Update from Tallahassee: we've started the first stage. We're at 19% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 15% now ($1,757). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for household costs while unable to work is now scheduled.

    Stay strong, Natalia. Hope this works out for you. After 18 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything

    • Sajib Rahim RashidQuestion

      is transport to Tallahassee Regional Medical Center the biggest cost or is there more coming?

      • Bea N. Manalo

          hang in there, Natalia. Wishing Natalia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Dodoma.

          • Samuel C. Dizon

            Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings!

            • Fernando Samuel Gonçalves

              Hope it all works out, Natalia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
