Cora was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Allentown Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Cora is 27, worked as a taxi driver 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 Allentown Regional Medical Center 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 $6,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,800 • Transport to Allentown Regional Medical Center: $790 • Scans and lab work: $1,960 Thanks for being kind about this.

        Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Allentown!

          Thank you. If you're in Allentown I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.

      • Keep going, Hailey. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 11 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything

        • Stay strong. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope October is when things finally get easier. God bless.

          • Sending love, Hailey. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.

            • Hang in there, Hailey. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. God bless

              • Thinking of you and your family, Hailey. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours

                • Rooting for you. Get well soon. Sent it to 32 people at work
