Vanessa's acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment fund
Supporting Vanessa through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to the Quezon City Oncology Institute, and living costs while She cannot work.
🇵🇭 Philippines1,019 views
Vanessa was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in June. The oncology team at the Quezon City Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Vanessa is 54, worked as a tailor 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 the Quezon City Oncology Institute 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $930
• Scans and lab work: $175
• Transport to the Quezon City Oncology Institute: $115
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $135
• Household costs while unable to work: $345
Every share and every dollar helps.

Best of luck, Kathleen. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Kathleen. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
thanks for sharing this, Kathleen. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 7 people at work. All the best.
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Quezon City.
