Standing with Simona: a rare sarcoma treatment costs

Simona was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in June. The oncology team at Naples Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Simona is 42, worked as a bus conductor until June, 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 Naples Regional Medical Center 5 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 $2,650 goes: • Scans and lab work: $1,100 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $470 • Household costs while unable to work: $670 • Transport to Naples Regional Medical Center: $410 With deep gratitude, Antonella
