Standing with Madelyn: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs

Supporting Madelyn through non-Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Houston Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.

Madelyn was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Houston Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Madelyn is 37, worked as a hairdresser 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 Houston Cancer Centre 5 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 $7,250 goes: • Transport to Houston Cancer Centre: $1,050 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,000 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,800 • Scans and lab work: $1,400 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  1. Small update. $2,542 so far, the plan for scans and lab work is now scheduled.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 12% now ($865). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  3. Quick update: $525 raised so far (7%). I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
