Fighting non-Hodgkin lymphoma: help Oliver afford treatment in Houston
Supporting Oliver through non-Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Houston University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇺🇸 United States5,883 views
Oliver was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at Houston University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Oliver is 39, worked as a nurse 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 Houston University Hospital 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 $12,300 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,900
• Transport to Houston University Hospital: $690
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $9,000
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $710
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Best of luck, Samuel. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
sending love. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't give up. Thinking of Houston
you're not alone, Samuel. Get well soon. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out
