Odesa
Anastasia was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in June. The oncology team at the Odesa Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Anastasia is 55, worked as a primary school teacher 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 the Odesa Oncology Institute 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,450 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,650 • Scans and lab work: $300 • Transport to the Odesa Oncology Institute: $115 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100 • Household costs while unable to work: $285 Glad we found this place. - Mykola

        Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $1,650 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.

    • Sending strength, Mykola. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. All the best

      • Praying for you, Mykola. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Spanish Town.

        • Hope it all works out, Mykola. Shared this with my family!
