Piper's prostate cancer treatment fund
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Springfield Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇺🇸 United States4,864 views
Piper was diagnosed with prostate cancer in June. The oncology team at Springfield Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Piper is 36, worked as a farmer until June, 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 Springfield Regional Medical Center 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $9,400 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,250
• Scans and lab work: $1,900
• Transport to Springfield Regional Medical Center: $970
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $490
• Household costs while unable to work: $790
Thank you so much.
