Help David through 4 rounds of treatment for a rare sarcoma

David is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

David was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in May. The oncology team at the Corpus Christi Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. David is 24, worked as a farmer until May, 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 Corpus Christi Oncology Institute 2 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 $10,500 goes: โ€ข Household costs while unable to work: $2,100 โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,750 โ€ข Transport to the Corpus Christi Oncology Institute: $670 โ€ข Scans and lab work: $980 Thank you for reading my story.

  • take care. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Lafayette!

    • Hope it all works out, Luke. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Londrina.

      • Sending good thoughts, Luke. Hope the doctors have good news.

        • I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Makati so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Corpus Christi.

          • Stay strong, Luke. Your post was clear and honest.
