Standing with Emilia: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs

6 rounds of treatment are planned at Springfield Regional Medical Center; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.

Emilia was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in February. The oncology team at Springfield Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Emilia is 34, worked as a bakery worker until February, 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 Springfield Regional Medical Center 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $3,950 goes: • Scans and lab work: $1,550 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $650 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,750 Thanks for reading all this.

              Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
