Help Benjamin through 6 rounds of treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Benjamin is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Benjamin was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at Southampton University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Benjamin is 25, 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 Southampton 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 $8,750 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,250
• Scans and lab work: $980
• Transport to Southampton University Hospital: $500
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $350
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,670
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you peace, Craig. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Peoria
hope it all works out, Craig. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Vitória da Conquista but we're thinking of you
