Christopher's stomach cancer treatment fund
12 rounds of treatment are planned at the Brandon Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇨🇦 Manitoba, Canada6,102 views
Christopher was diagnosed with stomach cancer in February. The oncology team at the Brandon Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Christopher is 25, worked as a hairdresser until February, 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 the Brandon Oncology Institute 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 $13,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $9,000
• Scans and lab work: $810
• Transport to the Brandon Oncology Institute: $660
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $760
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,770
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

so sorry you're going through this, Abigail. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted.
Thinking of you and your family, Abigail. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Thinking of you, Abigail. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Brandon.
Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you peace, Abigail. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
