Standing with Emma: cervical cancer treatment costs

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Riverside University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Emma was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at Riverside University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Emma is 34, worked as a farmer 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 Riverside University Hospital 2 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 $8,750 goes: • Scans and lab work: $790 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,750 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $670 • Transport to Riverside University Hospital: $540 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
