Standing with Gloria: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs

8 rounds of treatment are planned at London Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Gloria was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August. The oncology team at London Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Gloria is 49, worked as a construction supervisor 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 London 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $8,700 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,750 • Scans and lab work: $560 • Transport to London Regional Medical Center: $580 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $380 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,430 Thank you so much.

            Thanks for sharing this, Grayson. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Caxias do Sul so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Córdoba
