Fighting kidney cancer: help Ethan afford treatment in Detroit
Supporting Ethan through kidney cancer: medication, transport to Detroit Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
Anywhere in the world4,175 views
In April I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. My oncology team at Detroit Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in June. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 41, I worked as a taxi driver until April, 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 Detroit 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 $8,300 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,250
• Scans and lab work: $1,500
• Transport to Detroit Regional Medical Center: $430
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $380
• Household costs while unable to work: $740
Thanks for reading all this.
