Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Micah afford treatment in Los Angeles
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Los Angeles Cancer Centre; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.

Micah was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in April. The oncology team at Los Angeles Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Micah is 25, worked as a nurse until April, 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 Los Angeles Cancer Centre 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 $11,200 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,750
• Scans and lab work: $730
• Transport to Los Angeles Cancer Centre: $870
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $440
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,410
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

this could happen to any of us. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Blessings
Hang in there, Delilah. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 22 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Take care. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Los Angeles!
good luck, Delilah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless
Keep going, Delilah. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Mannheim this morning. Greetings from Mannheim.

So sorry you're going through this, Delilah. Wishing Micah a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings.
so sorry you're going through this, Delilah. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Love from Sakai.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 27 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Hubballi.
Wishing Micah a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
you're not alone. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Frankfurt but we're thinking of you.
