Fighting Hodgkin lymphoma: help Beau afford treatment in Bakersfield
Beau is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world4,249 views
Beau was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in February. The oncology team at Bakersfield University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Beau is 37, worked as a shop owner until February, 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 Bakersfield 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 $3,850 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $880
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,250
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $750
• Transport to Bakersfield University Hospital: $970
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending good thoughts, Lucy. This could happen to any of us. Love from Mississauga.
Get well soon. Put this on a community board in Kilkenny this morning. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Lucy. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We're a small family in Manukau but we're thinking of you.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Bakersfield.
