Fighting colon cancer: help Shawn afford treatment in Dallas

Supporting Shawn through colon cancer: medication, transport to Dallas University Hospital, and living costs while He cannot work.

Dallas
Shawn was diagnosed with colon cancer in February. The oncology team at Dallas University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Shawn is 28, worked as a bus conductor until February, 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 Dallas University Hospital 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $7,700 goes: • Scans and lab work: $1,200 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $420 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,000 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,080 Every share and every dollar helps. - Luke

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Shawn?
