Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Patrick afford treatment in Augsburg

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

Augsburg
Patrick was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in October. The oncology team at Augsburg Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in January. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Patrick is 24, worked as a hairdresser until October, 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 Augsburg Regional Medical Center 5 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 $4,100 goes: • Scans and lab work: $1,300 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $640 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,160 Thanks for being kind about this. - Uwe

Updates from Uwe

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 49% funded and I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 41% now ($1,695). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team.
