Standing with Beth: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs
Beth is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Beth was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in January. The oncology team at Glasgow Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Beth is 55, worked as a bus conductor until January, 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 Glasgow Regional Medical Center 3 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 $2,700 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $750
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,400
• Transport to Glasgow Regional Medical Center: $550
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
Sending strength, Julian. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Taguig this morning. Thinking of Glasgow.
Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
You're not alone. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Thinking of you and your family. Get well soon. Love from Accra.
Best of luck, Julian. This could happen to any of us. Love from Kathmandu.
Get well soon. My neighbor in Butwal donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Glasgow
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 35 people at work. Thinking of Glasgow
