Fighting Hodgkin lymphoma: help Caleb afford treatment in Los Angeles

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

Caleb was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in February. The oncology team at Los Angeles University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Caleb is 28, worked as a bank teller 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 Los Angeles 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 $11,100 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,750 • Transport to Los Angeles University Hospital: $610 • Scans and lab work: $980 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $760 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Doris

  • Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Lagos.

    • You're not alone, Doris. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from San Diego.

      • Keep going, Doris. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update.
