Fighting prostate cancer: help Lea afford treatment in Berlin

Supporting Lea through prostate cancer: medication, transport to the Berlin Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.

Berlin
Lea was diagnosed with prostate cancer in September. The oncology team at the Berlin Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Lea is 34, worked as a farmer until September, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Berlin Oncology Institute 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $8,800 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,500 • Scans and lab work: $640 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,300 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $360 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Finn

Updates from Finn

  1. Thank you all. We're at 20% now ($1,728). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work.

  2. Update from Berlin: I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
