Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Manuel afford treatment in Columbus
Supporting Manuel through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to Columbus University Hospital, and living costs while He cannot work.
🇺🇸 United States1,182 views
Manuel was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in March. The oncology team at Columbus University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Manuel is 49, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until March, 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 Columbus University Hospital 2 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 $4,400 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $820
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,000
• Transport to Columbus University Hospital: $1,250
• Scans and lab work: $1,330
I hope life is good to you.

Your post was clear and honest. After 12 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
