Fighting colon cancer: help Bartosz afford treatment in Kraków
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Kraków Regional Medical Center; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.
🇵🇱 Kraków, Lesser Poland, Poland4,436 views
Bartosz was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at Kraków Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Bartosz is 25, worked as a tailor until August, 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 Kraków Regional Medical Center 4 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 $4,550 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,350
• Scans and lab work: $440
• Transport to Kraków Regional Medical Center: $165
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $210
• Household costs while unable to work: $385
Thanks for reading all this.
