Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Jayden afford treatment in Hialeah
8 rounds of treatment are planned at the Hialeah Oncology Institute; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.
🇺🇸 Hialeah, Florida, United States6,847 views
Jayden was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in February. The oncology team at the Hialeah Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Jayden is 36, worked as a construction supervisor until February, 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 the Hialeah Oncology Institute 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $8,950 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,750
• Scans and lab work: $1,700
• Transport to the Hialeah Oncology Institute: $700
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $280
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,520
Thanks for being kind about this.
