Standing with Emilia: cervical cancer treatment costs
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Los Angeles University Hospital; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States7,328 views
Emilia was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at Los Angeles University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Emilia is 27, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 Los Angeles University Hospital 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 $9,400 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,500
• Scans and lab work: $710
• Transport to Los Angeles University Hospital: $450
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $310
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,430
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
