Standing with Vivian: a rare sarcoma treatment costs
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Mississauga University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Vivian was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in October. The oncology team at Mississauga University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in January. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Vivian is 25, worked as a farmer until October, 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 Mississauga University Hospital 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $9,150 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,750
• Scans and lab work: $1,200
• Transport to Mississauga University Hospital: $490
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $380
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,330
Thank you for reading my story.
