Standing with Paisley: kidney cancer treatment costs
Paisley is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Paisley was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at Joliet University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Paisley is 45, worked as a shop owner 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 Joliet University Hospital 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 $7,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,200
• Scans and lab work: $1,150
• Transport to Joliet University Hospital: $500
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $540
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,710
If you're reading this, thank you.
