Standing with Ariana: kidney cancer treatment costs

Ariana is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Ariana was diagnosed with kidney cancer in June. The oncology team at El Paso Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Ariana is 50, worked as a bank teller 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 El Paso 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 $7,200 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,300 • Scans and lab work: $870 • Transport to El Paso Cancer Centre: $880 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $540 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,610 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Lahore this morning. God bless

      wishing you the best, Jordan. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of El Paso.

      • Gianna P. Bautista

        Sending good thoughts, Jordan. I hope things turn around soon.

        • Adrian Claudiu Popa

          I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

          • Nikolai Dmytro Koval

            So sorry you're going through this, Jordan. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.

            • Shivam T. Dubey

              Wishing you the best, Jordan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 16 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Love from San Nicolás de los Garza.

              • Emery W. Bailey

                Best of luck, Jordan. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless

                  Thinking of you and your family, Jordan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
