Standing with Ewa: cervical cancer treatment costs
Supporting Ewa through cervical cancer: medication, transport to Katowice University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
🇵🇱 Poland5,163 views
Ewa was diagnosed with cervical cancer in March. The oncology team at Katowice University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Ewa is 30, worked as a shop owner until March, 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 Katowice 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 $4,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,050
• Scans and lab work: $280
• Transport to Katowice University Hospital: $290
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115
• Household costs while unable to work: $365
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope it all works out, Zofia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Port Harcourt.
Hope things get better soon, Zofia. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best.
Praying for you, Zofia. Hope you get there. Thinking of Katowice.
Best of luck, Zofia. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Kraków but we're thinking of you.
