Standing with Lillian: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs

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

Duluth
Lillian was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in November. The oncology team at the Duluth Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in February. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Lillian is 34, worked as a bakery worker until November, 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 Duluth Oncology Institute 2 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 $8,750 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,700 • Scans and lab work: $1,450 • Transport to the Duluth Oncology Institute: $1,000 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $660 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,940 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
