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

Natalia was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Warsaw Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Natalia is 44, worked as a taxi driver 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 Warsaw Regional Medical Center 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $3,250 goes:
• Transport to Warsaw Regional Medical Center: $220
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,000
• Household costs while unable to work: $530
• Scans and lab work: $500
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Warsaw.
Thanks for sharing this, Lena. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 39 people at work. Thinking of Warsaw.
Hope you get there. Love from Jimma.
