Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Isaiah afford treatment in San Antonio

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

San Antonio
Isaiah was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in May. The oncology team at San Antonio Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Isaiah is 35, worked as a hairdresser until May, 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 San Antonio 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 $8,850 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,250 • Scans and lab work: $960 • Transport to San Antonio Regional Medical Center: $1,150 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $490 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,000 I hope life is good to you. - Abigail
