Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Asher afford treatment in Christchurch

Supporting Asher through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to Christchurch Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.

Christchurch
In August I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. My oncology team at Christchurch Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 43, I worked as a shop owner until August, 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 Christchurch Cancer Centre 2 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 $3,300 goes: • Scans and lab work: $1,400 • Transport to Christchurch Cancer Centre: $500 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $310 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,090 Thanks for being kind about this.

          So sorry you're going through this, Asher. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money

          • Enrique K. Rojas

            Thinking of you. Get well soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

            • Irfan Candra Hutapea

              Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Kasarani so I could bring a meal. All the best.
