Help Arthur through 6 rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Paris University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Arthur was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in July. The oncology team at Paris University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Arthur is 30, worked as a construction supervisor 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 Paris University Hospital 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $6,550 goes:
• Transport to Paris University Hospital: $590
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,500
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $360
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,100
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Is transport to Paris University Hospital the biggest cost or is there more coming?
It's all in the list in the story. transport to Paris University Hospital is the big one at $590, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
Sending love, Louise. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Keep going, Louise. Hope you get there. After 21 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
This could happen to any of us. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Moscow.
Thinking of you and your family, Louise. Hope the doctors have good news. We're a small family in Barcelona but we're thinking of you. God bless
Thanks for sharing this, Louise. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Shubra.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We're a small family in Richards Bay but we're thinking of you. Love from Richards Bay.
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Tiruchirappalli so I could bring a meal.
Praying for you, Louise. Get well soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
thanks for sharing this, Louise. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
