Help Beau through 10 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer

Beau is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Beau was diagnosed with stomach cancer in October. The oncology team at Toronto Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Beau is 25, worked as a primary school teacher until October, 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 Toronto Regional Medical Center 4 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 $3,300 goes: • Scans and lab work: $680 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,050 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $570 Thank you so much. - Alexa

Updates from Alexa

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,693 in total) I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,837 in total) I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Small update. $912 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. - Alexa

    So sorry you're going through this, Alexa. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

    • Crystal Booker

      Rooting for you, Alexa. Looking forward to the next update. I hope January is when things finally get easier. All the best.

      • Kavita F. Rawat

        Wishing Beau a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Put this on a community board in Coventry this morning. Thinking of Toronto.
