Help Craig through 8 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer
Craig is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇨🇦 Toronto, Ontario, Canada6,343 views
Craig was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August. The oncology team at Toronto Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Craig is 45, worked as a hairdresser 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 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 $9,050 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,350
• Scans and lab work: $1,300
• Transport to Toronto Regional Medical Center: $470
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $460
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,470
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Duque de Caxias but we're thinking of you. Take care.
keep going. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Hang in there, Dennis. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Houston but we're thinking of you.
keep going, Dennis. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
