Standing with Valentina: multiple myeloma treatment costs

10 rounds of treatment are planned at Latina Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Latina
Valentina was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Latina Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Valentina is 34, worked as a farmer 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 Latina Regional Medical Center 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $3,900 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $990 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $600 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,310 With deep gratitude, Giuseppe

Updates from Giuseppe

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($378 in total) I made the first payment toward chemotherapy and medication not covered. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($833 in total) the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Stay strong, Giuseppe. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Thane.

    • Sultana Shima Pramanik

      Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings

      • Napat Yaowalak Sukhum

        wishing you peace, Giuseppe. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
