Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Nathan afford treatment in Birmingham
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Birmingham University Hospital; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.

Nathan was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in October. The oncology team at Birmingham University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Nathan is 28, worked as a tailor until October, 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 Birmingham University Hospital 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 $7,600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,250
• Transport to Birmingham University Hospital: $350
• Scans and lab work: $1,000
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

You're not alone, Aaliyah. Wishing Nathan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings.
Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Katowice.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 21 years in retail I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Durgapur.
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Birmingham.
