Frank's kidney cancer treatment fund
Frank is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇬🇧 Leicester, England, United Kingdom5,183 views
Frank was diagnosed with kidney cancer in March. The oncology team at the Leicester Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Frank is 38, worked as a bakery worker until March, 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 Leicester Oncology Institute 5 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 $8,000 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $850
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,750
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $400
I hope life is good to you.

Stay strong, Dustin. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Pune.
Stay strong. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope July is when things finally get easier.
sending good thoughts, Dustin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Leicester.
Sending strength, Dustin. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Keep going, Dustin. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
You're not alone, Dustin. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick
