Petra's a rare sarcoma treatment fund

6 rounds of treatment are planned at Karlsruhe University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Karlsruhe
Petra was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in January. The oncology team at Karlsruhe University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in March. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Petra is 29, worked as a bus conductor until January, 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 Karlsruhe University Hospital 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $4,200 goes: • Transport to Karlsruhe University Hospital: $840 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,600 • Household costs while unable to work: $760 I hope life is good to you.

              Thinking of you and your family, Sebastian. 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
