Standing with Gemma: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs

Supporting Gemma through non-Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to the Angeles Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.

Angeles
Gemma was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in February. The oncology team at the Angeles Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Gemma is 26, worked as a construction supervisor 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 the Angeles Oncology Institute 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,350 goes: • Scans and lab work: $200 • Transport to the Angeles Oncology Institute: $140 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,010 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Angelo

  1. Update from Angeles: the plan for transport to the Angeles Oncology Institute is now scheduled. We're at 20% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. We're at 17% thanks to 4 of you. I made the first payment toward chemotherapy and medication not covered. More news soon.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($118 in total) the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
