Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Hatem afford treatment in Medina

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

Medina
In August I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. My oncology team at Medina Regional Medical Center has planned 10 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 28, I worked as a taxi driver 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 Medina Regional Medical Center 5 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 $5,150 goes: • Transport to Medina Regional Medical Center: $590 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,250 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,050 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $260 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

        So sorry you're going through this, Hatem. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
