Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Everett afford treatment in San Antonio
6 rounds of treatment are planned at San Antonio Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In May I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at San Antonio Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in July. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 39, I worked as a nurse until May, 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 San Antonio Regional Medical Center 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 $6,600 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,350
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,200
• Transport to San Antonio Regional Medical Center: $1,050
Thanks for reading all this.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Rome.
You're not alone, Everett. Shared this with my family. Love from Tlaquepaque.
Thinking of you, Everett. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
