Benjamin's acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment fund
Supporting Benjamin through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to Cardiff Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
Anywhere in the world1,436 views
Benjamin was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August. The oncology team at Cardiff Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Benjamin is 32, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until August, 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 Cardiff Regional Medical Center 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $10,750 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,500
• Scans and lab work: $890
• Transport to Cardiff Regional Medical Center: $960
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $420
• Household costs while unable to work: $980
Thank you so much.
