Standing with Lệ: Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs

Lệ is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Hồ Chí Minh City
Lệ was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at Hồ Chí Minh City Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Lệ is 30, worked as a farmer until July, 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 Hồ Chí Minh City Regional Medical Center 3 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 $1,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $670 • Scans and lab work: $110 • Transport to Hồ Chí Minh City Regional Medical Center: $155 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115 • Household costs while unable to work: $300 Thank you so much.
