Cooper's a rare sarcoma treatment fund
Cooper is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇺🇸 United States2,463 views
Cooper was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in January. The oncology team at Austin Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Cooper is 52, worked as a shop owner until January, 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 Austin Cancer Centre 3 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 $9,200 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,500
• Scans and lab work: $1,150
• Transport to Austin Cancer Centre: $690
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $620
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,240
Every share and every dollar helps.

good luck, Megan. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Wishing you peace. Wishing Cooper a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too
