Standing with Sami: multiple myeloma treatment costs

Sami is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Madrid

In August I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. My oncology team at Madrid University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 39, I worked as a farmer until August, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Madrid University Hospital 3 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $5,900 goes: • Transport to Madrid University Hospital: $750 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $380 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,770 Thanks for being kind about this. - Sami
