Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Julian afford treatment in Orlando
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Orlando University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Julian was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in August. The oncology team at Orlando University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Julian is 40, worked as a primary school teacher 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 Orlando University Hospital 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $8,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,600
• Scans and lab work: $730
• Transport to Orlando University Hospital: $900
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $820
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,050
Thanks for reading all this.
