Dallas
Serenity was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at Dallas Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Serenity is 54, worked as a hairdresser 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 Dallas Regional Medical Center 4 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 $4,050 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,200 • Transport to Dallas Regional Medical Center: $410 • Scans and lab work: $1,650 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $790 If you're reading this, thank you.

  • Wishing you peace, Gerald. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings.

    • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Serenity

      • Gerald WebbOwnerAnswer

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. household costs while unable to work comes first ($1,200) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.

    • Hope it all works out. Get well soon. Thinking of Dallas.

      • Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. All the best

        • you're not alone, Gerald. I hope things turn around soon.

          • Thinking of you and your family, Gerald. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Half-Way Tree.

            • Any update on how things are going in Dallas?

              • Praying for you, Gerald. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.

                • is there anything that isn't money that would help Serenity?

                  • Gerald WebbOwnerAnswer

                    Thank you. If you're in Dallas I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.

                • Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Newport

                  • Take care, Gerald. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Greetings from Bahir Dar.

                    • I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 15 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

                      • hope things get better soon, Gerald. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.

                          • You're not alone, Gerald. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Thrissur
