Standing with Eva: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs
Eva is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇺🇸 United States1,704 views
Eva was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August. The oncology team at the Houston Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Eva is 40, 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 the Houston Oncology Institute 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $8,300 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,650
• Scans and lab work: $1,150
• Transport to the Houston Oncology Institute: $680
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $260
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,560
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Keep going. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Get well soon. We're a small family in Marrakesh but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Shared this with my family. After 16 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Rooting for you, Rebecca. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Wishing you peace, Rebecca. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
