Nîmes
Gilles was diagnosed with stomach cancer in October. The oncology team at Nîmes University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in January. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Gilles is 49, worked as a primary school teacher until October, 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 Nîmes University Hospital 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 $7,250 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,300 • Scans and lab work: $810 • Transport to Nîmes University Hospital: $870 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $630 • Household costs while unable to work: $640 Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Léo

  1. We're at 35% thanks to 81 of you. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. More news soon.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,084 in total) I made the first payment toward scans and lab work. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Hang in there, Léo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Nîmes.

    • Kai A. Coleman

      Sending good thoughts, Léo. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
