Fighting non-Hodgkin lymphoma: help Elias afford treatment in Wollongong
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Wollongong Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Elias was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at Wollongong Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Elias is 36, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until July, 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 Wollongong Regional Medical Center 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $9,550 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,250
• Scans and lab work: $1,100
• Transport to Wollongong Regional Medical Center: $1,150
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $280
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,770
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
