Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Harper afford treatment in Cardiff

Supporting Harper through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to Cardiff Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.

Cardiff
In November I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at Cardiff Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in January. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 28, I worked as a bus conductor until November, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Cardiff Cancer Centre 3 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,900 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $720 • Scans and lab work: $1,350 • Household costs while unable to work: $830 Thank you so much. - Harper

            reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 10 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Cardiff.
