Savannah's a rare sarcoma treatment fund

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

Savannah was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in February. The oncology team at Coventry University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Savannah is 54, worked as a hairdresser until February, 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 Coventry University Hospital 2 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 $3,700 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $2,000 • Transport to Coventry University Hospital: $590 • Scans and lab work: $1,110 Thank you so much. - Deborah
