Standing with Megan: multiple myeloma treatment costs
Megan is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Megan was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at the Miami Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Megan is 35, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 the Miami 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 $4,450 goes:
• Transport to the Miami Oncology Institute: $840
• Scans and lab work: $1,150
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $630
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,830
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
