Help Aiden through 4 rounds of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Aiden is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇨🇦 Ottawa, Ontario, Canada1,372 views
Aiden was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in April. The oncology team at Ottawa Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Aiden is 33, worked as a hairdresser until April, 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 Ottawa Regional Medical Center 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 $2,750 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,300
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $330
• Transport to Ottawa Regional Medical Center: $1,120
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you, Courtney. Looking forward to the next update. After 8 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Juazeiro do Norte.
Hope things get better soon, Courtney. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
you're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Lahore so I could bring a meal. Love from Fort Worth
