Fighting kidney cancer: help Gabriel afford treatment in Leeds

Supporting Gabriel through kidney cancer: medication, transport to Leeds Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.

Leeds
Gabriel was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at Leeds Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Gabriel is 57, worked as a bakery worker until August, 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 Leeds Cancer Centre 3 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 $8,800 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,250 • Scans and lab work: $580 • Transport to Leeds Cancer Centre: $810 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $450 • Household costs while unable to work: $710 Glad we found this place. - Henry

        can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Leeds

        • Aubree Sutton

          Stay strong. Wishing Gabriel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.

          • Srinivas K. Narayanan

            I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Houston but we're thinking of you. Take care.

            • André Manoel Castro

              Hope it all works out. Wishing Gabriel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
