Help Yva through cancer

Our much adored Yva Las Vegass was recently disagnosed with mucoepidermoid carcinoma. This means she has a cancerous tumor in her salivary gland. She is scheduled for surgery in less than two weeks, on the 27th of this month. Yva is a working musician whose music has deeply affected and inspired so many of us and she will continue to play until the surgery date, at which point we need to help her with her monthly expenses, as well as the high cost of transportation to and from the doctors office in manhattan. Her treatment is rigorous and involves 4 specialists and a series of exhausting appointments. We want the least of her concerns to be money. We need to handle her minimal monthly finances for the next six months during surgery so that she can put all her energy into healing and recovery. 

Here's a breakdown of her monthly costs: 
Rent $585
Utilities $110
Phone $50
Travel $350

The money you donate will go directly to these expenses.

Needless to say, this is a very difficult time for Yva and she needs the love and support of her community. Please check in if you have ideas for other ways you can help.
