Standing with Isaiah: multiple myeloma treatment costs

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

Los Angeles
In August I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. My oncology team at Los Angeles Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 37, I worked as a bakery worker until August, 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 Los Angeles Regional Medical Center 4 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 $3,550 goes: • Scans and lab work: $1,150 • Transport to Los Angeles Regional Medical Center: $950 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,450 With deep gratitude, Isaiah
