Fighting prostate cancer: help Jacob afford treatment in Raleigh

Supporting Jacob through prostate cancer: medication, transport to Raleigh University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.

Raleigh
Jacob was diagnosed with prostate cancer in September. The oncology team at Raleigh University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Jacob is 43, worked as a hairdresser until September, 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 Raleigh 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,450 goes: • Transport to Raleigh University Hospital: $740 • Scans and lab work: $960 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $750 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    Thinking of you and your family, Hailey. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Aurangabad so I could bring a meal. All the best.

        • Walker B. WrightQuestion

          Is transport to Raleigh University Hospital the biggest cost or is there more coming?

          • Hailey L. WareOwnerAnswer

            Transport to Raleigh University Hospital is $740 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.
