Fighting multiple myeloma: help Weston afford treatment in Leicester
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Leicester University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Weston was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Leicester University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Weston is 36, worked as a primary school teacher 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 Leicester University Hospital 5 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 $9,300 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,000
• Scans and lab work: $910
• Transport to Leicester University Hospital: $700
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $340
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,350
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
What exactly is the $9,300 for?
Best of luck, Alyssa. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Leicester.
How is Weston doing now?
Sending strength. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Cầu Giấy
Take care. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Leicester.
wishing Weston a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Tehuacán.
Stay strong, Alyssa. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't give up. All the best.
