Standing with Raffaella: a rare sarcoma treatment costs

10 rounds of treatment are planned at the Bergamo Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Bergamo
Raffaella was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in April. The oncology team at the Bergamo Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Raffaella is 43, worked as a bank teller until April, 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 Bergamo Oncology Institute 3 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 $5,850 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,400 • Scans and lab work: $560 • Transport to the Bergamo Oncology Institute: $660 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $400 • Household costs while unable to work: $830 Thank you for reading my story. - Teresa
