Bakersfield
In June I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at Bakersfield Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 25, I worked as a shop owner until June, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Bakersfield Regional Medical Center 3 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $7,800 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,250 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $360 • Transport to Bakersfield Regional Medical Center: $1,190 With deep gratitude, Harper

      Thank you. If you're in Bakersfield I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.

  • Rooting for you, Harper. Get well soon!

    • You're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

      • Wishing Harper a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Bakersfield.

        • Hope it all works out, Harper. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best

            hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Istanbul donated after I showed her your page

            • Wishing you peace. Get well soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.

              • You're not alone. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.

                • Sending love, Harper. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
