Olivia's acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment fund

Supporting Olivia through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to the Houston Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.

Houston
Olivia was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in May. The oncology team at the Houston Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Olivia is 40, worked as a bus conductor until May, 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 Houston Oncology Institute 3 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 $8,550 goes: • Scans and lab work: $670 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,500 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $650 • Transport to the Houston Oncology Institute: $730 Thanks for being kind about this. - Walker

            Wishing you peace, Walker. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
