Fighting non-Hodgkin lymphoma: help Harold afford treatment in Los Angeles
Harold is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States7,371 views
Harold was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in June. The oncology team at Los Angeles Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Harold is 45, worked as a shop owner until June, 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 Los Angeles Regional Medical Center 2 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 $9,900 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $1,150
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,500
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,250
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
Updates from Beth
Good news. Because of your gifts ($3,242 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $2,287 raised so far (23%). I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 15% now ($1,486). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.

So sorry you're going through this, Beth. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Los Angeles
gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out
Wishing you peace, Beth. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Los Angeles
