Help Angel through 8 rounds of treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma

8 rounds of treatment are planned at the Red Deer Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Red Deer
Angel was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in February. The oncology team at the Red Deer Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Angel is 49, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until February, 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 Red Deer 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 $2,400 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $690 • Transport to the Red Deer Oncology Institute: $720 • Scans and lab work: $990 If you're reading this, thank you. - Alexa
