Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Fionn afford treatment in Limerick

Fionn is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Limerick
Fionn was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in June. The oncology team at Limerick Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Fionn is 35, worked as a bus conductor until June, 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 Limerick Regional Medical Center 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 $10,200 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,250 • Scans and lab work: $1,500 • Transport to Limerick Regional Medical Center: $810 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $740 • Household costs while unable to work: $900 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Clodagh

    So sorry you're going through this, Clodagh. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Jodhpur.
