Standing with Justine: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs

Supporting Justine through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to the Paris Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.

Justine was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in May. The oncology team at the Paris Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Justine is 42, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until May, 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 Paris Oncology Institute 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $10,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,500 • Scans and lab work: $1,150 • Transport to the Paris Oncology Institute: $370 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $430 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,550 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Sophie

  1. Quick update: $1,717 raised so far (17%). I made the first payment toward nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,127 in total) I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

              Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Ann Arbor
