Aarón was diagnosed with prostate cancer in July. The oncology team at the Knoxville Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Aarón is 28, worked as a tailor until July, 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 Knoxville Oncology Institute 2 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 $9,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,250 • Scans and lab work: $980 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $270 Thank you for reading my story.

  • Sending love, Antonio. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Kilkenny!

    • Sending strength, Antonio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 38 people at work. God bless.
