Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Thierry afford treatment in Paris
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Paris Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇫🇷 Paris, Île-de-France, France2,856 views
Thierry was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in November. The oncology team at Paris Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in February. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Thierry is 37, worked as a bus conductor until November, 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 Paris Cancer Centre 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $9,750 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,750
• Scans and lab work: $1,300
• Transport to Paris Cancer Centre: $500
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $320
• Household costs while unable to work: $880
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hang in there. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side
Good luck, Valérie. Shared it with a few friends. God bless
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Birmingham this morning. God bless.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Thierry?
Thank you. If you're in Paris I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Rooting for you, Valérie. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Nottingham.
how is Thierry doing now?
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Santos.
Wishing you peace, Valérie. Shared this with my family. Blessings
Hope it all works out, Valérie. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
