Standing with Bích: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs

Bích is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Bích was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August. The oncology team at the San Francisco Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Bích is 46, worked as a primary school teacher until August, 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 San Francisco Oncology Institute 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $8,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,750 • Scans and lab work: $1,750 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,300 • Transport to the San Francisco Oncology Institute: $750 Thank you for reading my story. - Hải

Updates from Hải

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,961 in total) I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $1,871 raised so far (22%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
