Natalie's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund

10 rounds of treatment are planned at Perth Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Natalie was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in April. The oncology team at Perth Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Natalie is 30, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 Perth Regional Medical Center 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 $12,650 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,000 • Scans and lab work: $1,500 • Transport to Perth Regional Medical Center: $1,050 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $390 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,710 Thanks for being kind about this. - Roman

Updates from Roman

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($3,766 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. We're at 26% thanks to 81 of you. I made the first payment toward nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team. More news soon.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,607 in total) I made the first payment toward transport to Perth Regional Medical Center. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
