Fighting cervical cancer: help Gerald afford treatment in Miami

Gerald is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Miami
Gerald was diagnosed with cervical cancer in December. The oncology team at Miami Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in February. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Gerald is 28, worked as a tailor until December, 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 Miami 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 $10,700 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,250 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $610 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,840 Thank you so much.

      Thanks for sharing this, Brenda. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Take care.

        Hang in there. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
