Rachel was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in March. The oncology team at Denver Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Rachel is 40, worked as a primary school teacher until March, 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 Denver 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $14,800 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $10,000 • Scans and lab work: $1,650 • Transport to Denver Cancer Centre: $1,050 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $930 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,170 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Elijah

  • Hang in there, Elijah. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Soweto donated after I showed her your page.

    • Take care, Elijah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
