Standing with Ximena: Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
Supporting Ximena through Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Burnaby Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.
🇨🇦 Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada5,189 views
Ximena was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Burnaby Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Ximena is 43, worked as a bakery worker 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 Burnaby 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 $3,850 goes:
• Transport to Burnaby Regional Medical Center: $1,100
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,100
• Scans and lab work: $650
Thank you for reading my story.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 29 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Good luck, Lydia. Wishing Ximena a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Moscow.
Keep going, Lydia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Lydia. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Rooting for you, Lydia. This could happen to any of us
Sending strength. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
