Fighting Hodgkin lymphoma: help Todd afford treatment in Bakersfield

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

Todd was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in April. The oncology team at Bakersfield Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Todd is 26, worked as a tailor until April, 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 Regional Medical Center 2 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 $2,800 goes: • Scans and lab work: $1,100 • Transport to Bakersfield Regional Medical Center: $1,150 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $550 I hope life is good to you.
