Supporting Andrew through kidney cancer: medication, transport to the Sydney Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.

Sydney
In July I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. My oncology team at the Sydney Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in December. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 43, I worked as a construction supervisor until July, 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 the Sydney Oncology Institute 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 $3,750 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,500 • Transport to the Sydney Oncology Institute: $750 • Scans and lab work: $1,150 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $350 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Andrew

  • Irfan Joko SantosoQuestion

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Andrew

    • Andrew L. MoralesOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. household costs while unable to work comes first ($1,500) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.

  • Sunita B. Tripathi

    Keep going, Andrew. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.

    • Damien Prevost

      Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care

      • Anyango Faith Ngowi

        Sending love, Andrew. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Nairobi but we're thinking of you. Blessings!

        • Teresita S. Soriano

          Praying for you, Andrew. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!

          • Theodore Duran
