Sara's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund
Supporting Sara through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to the Stockholm Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇸🇪 Stockholm, Sweden2,265 views
Sara was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in April. The oncology team at the Stockholm Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Sara is 51, worked as a taxi driver until April, 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 Stockholm Oncology Institute 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 $3,550 goes:
• Transport to the Stockholm Oncology Institute: $730
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,250
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $570
Every share and every dollar helps.
