Help Amir through 4 rounds of treatment for kidney cancer
Amir is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world5,526 views
Amir was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at Haifa University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Amir is 57, worked as a nurse 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 Haifa University Hospital 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $8,600 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,250
• Transport to Haifa University Hospital: $360
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,990
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope things get better soon, Michal. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Take care.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Amir!
Sure. The biggest one is household costs while unable to work, $1,250. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. I'll keep the page updated.
good luck, Michal. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Rajkot donated after I showed her your page
Thinking of you, Michal. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Haifa.
Keep going, Michal. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Please keep us posted. Take care
Hope things get better soon, Michal. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
