Aaron's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund

Aaron is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Aaron was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in May. The oncology team at Bellevue Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Aaron is 35, worked as a construction supervisor until May, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Bellevue Cancer Centre 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $8,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,750 • Scans and lab work: $1,150 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $650 Thank you so much. - Lauren

Updates from Lauren

  1. Update from Bellevue: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 44% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,022 in total) the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
