Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Oren afford treatment in Beersheba
Oren is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world2,089 views
Oren was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in August. The oncology team at Beersheba Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Oren is 30, worked as a tailor 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 Beersheba Cancer Centre 3 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 $5,200 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $980
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,450
• Scans and lab work: $770
Every share and every dollar helps.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,010 in total) I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

How is Oren doing now?
hope it all works out, Ilana. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Praying for you. Get well soon. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Ciudad de México so I could bring a meal.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Oren?
Stay strong, Ilana. Hope the doctors have good news!
wishing you peace, Ilana. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Södertälje
sending love, Ilana. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Keep going, Ilana. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you peace, Ilana. Get well soon
