Rebecca Hasker's Medical Bills
Donation protected
It’s a parent’s worst nightmare to learn your 16-year-old daughter has Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer that affects children and young adults. But it’s a double blow to learn that it has spread to the lungs, muscles, and bone marrow.
This is the reality for the Hasker family. Rebecca Hasker was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma on January 13, 2017. Rebecca did not expect to spend her sophomore and junior years in high school in the hospital receiving chemotherapy and radiation, some of the toughest treatment there is. Because of her advanced stage of cancer, she also is going through an experimental treatment.
From the beginning, when her two sisters were breaking down at the news and her parents were in a fog trying to adjust to their new reality and to process what’s in store for the family, Rebecca was strong. Her response to her mom at the news was, “God knows what He’s doing.” The faith of a child!
Rebecca has just begun a 15-month course of treatment. While family and friends are helping out, the reality is that Pam and Peter will be splitting their time away from work to be with Rebecca as she goes through this process. Time away from work will ultimately mean unpaid days of leave. The family of five cannot afford to go without a paycheck. Pam, a State employee, has excellent insurance, but even that won’t be enough to cover the time off from work – not to mention the insurance copays and deductible. Rebecca has gone through her first course of treatment and has already been in the hospital for over three weeks. Putting food on the table, making the mortgage payment, and paying the mounting medical bills compounds the anxiety the Hasker family is facing.
It doesn’t take much to help. Every dollar makes a difference and will help to ease the Hasker’s anxiety over their uncertain financial future. A generous act of kindness for a friend, friend of a friend, or complete stranger – to know that you made a difference in someone’s life and helped to ease their burden through a sacrifice of your own can be very powerful.
