Diego's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
Supporting Diego through Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to the Springfield Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇺🇸 Springfield, Massachusetts, United States3,683 views
Diego was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in November. The oncology team at the Springfield Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in February. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Diego is 28, worked as a tailor until November, 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 Springfield Oncology Institute 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $3,850 goes:
• Transport to the Springfield Oncology Institute: $780
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $290
• Scans and lab work: $690
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,090
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
