Valentina's a rare sarcoma treatment fund
Supporting Valentina through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to Springfield University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.

In August I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at Springfield University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 58, I worked as a construction supervisor until August, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Springfield University Hospital 3 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $7,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,250
• Transport to Springfield University Hospital: $990
• Scans and lab work: $1,400
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $360
I hope life is good to you.

Sending love. Wishing Valentina a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Bologna this morning.
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
