Standing with Anna: Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs

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

Anna was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at Toronto University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Anna is 38, worked as a shop owner 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 Toronto University Hospital 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $3,300 goes: • Transport to Toronto University Hospital: $560 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,000 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $410 • Scans and lab work: $1,330 Every share and every dollar helps. - Craig
