Fighting thyroid cancer: help William afford treatment in Sydney

William is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Sydney
William was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at the Sydney Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. William is 36, worked as a shop owner 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 the Sydney Oncology Institute 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 $2,950 goes: • Scans and lab work: $640 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,050 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $810 • Transport to the Sydney Oncology Institute: $450 With deep gratitude, Parker

      So sorry you're going through this, Parker. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Sydney
