Lidia was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in August. The oncology team at Novosibirsk Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Lidia is 44, worked as a tailor 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 Novosibirsk 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,100 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $380 • Scans and lab work: $440 • Transport to Novosibirsk Regional Medical Center: $280 If you're reading this, thank you.
