Fighting Hodgkin lymphoma: help Armando afford treatment in Syracuse

Armando is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Armando was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Syracuse Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Armando is 25, worked as a tailor 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 Syracuse Regional Medical Center 3 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 $8,050 goes: โ€ข Transport to Syracuse Regional Medical Center: $960 โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,750 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $340 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Syracuse.

    • Thank you. If you're in Syracuse I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.

  • Sending love, Julieta. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

    • Do you have the treatment plan you could share with the moderators?

      • I do, the treatment plan is with the HelpBLESS team. Happy to answer anything else about it.

    • Owen FordID verified

      Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick

      • How long do you have before November?

        • It's firm, November. After that things get a lot harder, so anything before then helps most. Good question.

      • Phฦฐฦกng Vy ChauAddress verified

        Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Sydney.

        • Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together.

          • Best of luck, Julieta. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care

            • Hope it all works out, Julieta. Get well soon. Sent it to 4 people at work. All the best.
