Help Dustin through 6 rounds of treatment for kidney cancer
Dustin is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world1,940 views
Dustin was diagnosed with kidney cancer in July. The oncology team at Nashville Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Dustin is 52, worked as a tailor 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 Nashville Regional Medical Center 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,600 goes:
• Transport to Nashville Regional Medical Center: $760
• Household costs while unable to work: $970
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $870
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
