Fighting multiple myeloma: help Michał afford treatment in Newport

Michał is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Newport
Michał was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at the Newport Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Michał is 26, worked as a bank teller 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 the Newport Oncology Institute 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 $4,950 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,050 • Transport to the Newport Oncology Institute: $790 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $600 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,510 With deep gratitude, Paulina

  1. Small update. $2,788 so far, the plan for transport to the Newport Oncology Institute is now scheduled.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 33% now ($1,650). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
