Standing with Rekha: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs
Rekha is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇨🇦 Mississauga, Ontario, Canada578 views
Rekha was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in July. The oncology team at Mississauga University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Rekha is 50, worked as a construction supervisor until July, 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 Mississauga University Hospital 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Transport to Mississauga University Hospital: $420
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $700
• Scans and lab work: $580
