Dnipro
In December I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at the Dnipro Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in March. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 32, I worked as a hairdresser until December, 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 the Dnipro Oncology Institute 3 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 $2,450 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $175 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,700 • Household costs while unable to work: $380 • Scans and lab work: $195 Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Petro

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($755 in total) I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Small update. $395 so far, I made the first payment toward scans and lab work.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 8% now ($190). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Petro!

        It's all in the list in the story. nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is the big one at $175, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Ask me anything else.

    • You're not alone, Petro. Wishing Petro a smooth procedure and a full recovery.

      • Hope things get better soon, Petro. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking

        • Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.

          • Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
