Berlin
Sebastian was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at Berlin University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Sebastian is 40, worked as a bus conductor until August, 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 Berlin University Hospital 5 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 $3,300 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,650 • Transport to Berlin University Hospital: $850 • Scans and lab work: $800 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Hannah

  • Thanks for sharing this, Hannah. Wishing Sebastian a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
