Fighting cervical cancer: help Todd afford treatment in Orlando

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

Orlando
Todd was diagnosed with cervical cancer in July. The oncology team at Orlando Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Todd is 47, worked as a nurse until July, 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 Orlando Regional Medical Center 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 $2,100 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,200 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $490 • Transport to Orlando Regional Medical Center: $410 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.
