Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Dustin afford treatment in Kansas City
Supporting Dustin through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to Kansas City Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇺🇸 Kansas City, Missouri, United States4,436 views
Dustin was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in June. The oncology team at Kansas City Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Dustin is 27, worked as a tailor until June, 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 Kansas City 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $5,600 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $1,900
• Transport to Kansas City Regional Medical Center: $750
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $600
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,350
With deep gratitude,
Lucas
