Standing with Aria: stomach cancer treatment costs

Supporting Aria through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Spokane Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.

Spokane
Aria was diagnosed with stomach cancer in October. The oncology team at Spokane Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in January. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Aria is 41, worked as a taxi driver until October, 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 Spokane Regional Medical Center 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 $4,650 goes: • Scans and lab work: $1,550 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,850 • Transport to Spokane Regional Medical Center: $920 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $330 Glad we found this place. - Lawrence

Updates from Lawrence

  1. Small update. $573 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.

  2. Update from Spokane: I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. We're at 11% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 4% now ($205). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.

      You're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.

                  Good luck, Lawrence. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Madrid.
