Standing with Lina: multiple myeloma treatment costs

Supporting Lina through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to the Heliopolis Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.

Heliopolis
Lina was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in July. The oncology team at the Heliopolis Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Lina is 28, worked as a nurse 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 the Heliopolis Oncology Institute 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,200 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70 • Transport to the Heliopolis Oncology Institute: $125 • Household costs while unable to work: $210 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $795 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Walid

  1. Quick update: $614 raised so far (51%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($454 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
