New York
In June I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at New York Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 32, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital until June, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to New York Regional Medical Center 3 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $10,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,500 • Transport to New York Regional Medical Center: $1,050 • Scans and lab work: $1,100 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $850 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    sending strength, Saeed. This could happen to any of us. Love from Los Angeles

    • Mutua John Opio

      Thinking of you and your family. Hope the doctors have good news. After 13 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

      • Jordan P. Langley

        Thinking of you, Saeed. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Eldoret
