Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Isaac afford treatment in Atlanta
Isaac is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇺🇸 Atlanta, Georgia, United States6,515 views
Isaac was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in September. The oncology team at Atlanta Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Isaac is 47, 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 Atlanta 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 $7,900 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,500
• Scans and lab work: $1,100
• Transport to Atlanta Regional Medical Center: $950
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $430
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,920
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
