Fighting non-Hodgkin lymphoma: help Landon afford treatment in Hamilton
Landon is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇨🇦 Hamilton, Ontario, Canada5,046 views
Landon was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in March. The oncology team at Hamilton Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Landon is 56, worked as a shop owner until March, 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 Hamilton Regional Medical Center 4 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 $7,050 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,150
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,000
• Transport to Hamilton Regional Medical Center: $900
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope this works out for you. After 8 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Thinking of you, Megan. Looking forward to the next update.
Hope it all works out, Megan. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Ciudad de México this morning.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Pune.
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Mumbai.
