Fighting prostate cancer: help Wyatt afford treatment in Arlington
Supporting Wyatt through prostate cancer: medication, transport to Arlington Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇺🇸 Arlington, Texas, United States1,299 views
Wyatt was diagnosed with prostate cancer in August. The oncology team at Arlington Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Wyatt is 24, worked as a bus conductor until August, 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 Arlington 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 $7,750 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,850
• Scans and lab work: $1,200
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,850
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $850
Thank you so much.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Wyatt?
Thank you. If you're in Arlington I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Hope things get better soon, Theodore. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Arlington.
hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Good luck. Wishing Wyatt a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Sent it to 7 people at work. Greetings from Peoria.
What's already covered and what's the $7,750 for?
It's all in the list in the story. household costs while unable to work is the big one at $1,850, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Angeles so I could bring a meal. God bless
Hope it all works out, Theodore. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Barranquilla.
