Pauline's colon cancer treatment fund
Supporting Pauline through colon cancer: medication, transport to Brampton Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She cannot work.
🇨🇦 Brampton, Ontario, Canada7,499 views
Pauline was diagnosed with colon cancer in July. The oncology team at Brampton Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Pauline is 42, worked as a taxi driver until July, 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 Brampton Regional Medical Center 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 $11,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,500
• Scans and lab work: $1,650
• Transport to Brampton Regional Medical Center: $1,050
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $800
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,000
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Brampton!
Thank you. If you're in Brampton I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Thinking of you, Marie. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
so sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 15 people at work. Love from Arlington.
Thanks for sharing this, Marie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless
Praying for you, Marie. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up
Shared this with my family. Thinking of Brampton.
Thinking of you, Marie. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Brampton.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Brampton.
Hope it all works out. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 8 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Colombo.
Thanks for sharing this, Marie. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 24 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Chandler.
