Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Benoît afford treatment in Boulogne-Billancourt

Benoît is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Boulogne-Billancourt
Benoît was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August. The oncology team at Boulogne-Billancourt Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Benoît is 53, worked as a hairdresser until August, 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 Boulogne-Billancourt Cancer Centre 4 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 $5,000 goes: • Transport to Boulogne-Billancourt Cancer Centre: $610 • Scans and lab work: $990 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,400 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
