Standing with Silvia: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs
Supporting Silvia through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to the Verona Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
Anywhere in the world874 views
Silvia was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in December. The oncology team at the Verona Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in February. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Silvia is 28, worked as a bakery worker until December, 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 Verona Oncology Institute 2 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 $6,200 goes:
• Transport to the Verona Oncology Institute: $400
• Scans and lab work: $1,000
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,400
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,400
Thank you so much.

Hope it all works out, Elisa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Take care
Is transport to the Verona Oncology Institute the biggest cost or is there more coming?
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. transport to the Verona Oncology Institute is the biggest at $400.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in San Francisco donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Silvia?
Sending good thoughts, Elisa. Hope the doctors have good news. Take care.
Rooting for you, Elisa. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Verona.
keep going. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together.
