Standing with Amal: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs

10 rounds of treatment are planned at Newcastle upon Tyne Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Newcastle upon Tyne
Amal was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in July. The oncology team at Newcastle upon Tyne Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Amal is 27, worked as a tailor until July, 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 Newcastle upon Tyne Cancer Centre 4 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 $5,350 goes: • Transport to Newcastle upon Tyne Cancer Centre: $610 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $630 • Scans and lab work: $770 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,340 Thanks for being kind about this. - Zaid
