Help Eduardo through 8 rounds of treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma

Eduardo is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Eduardo was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at the Bellevue Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Eduardo is 45, worked as a bank teller 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 the Bellevue Oncology Institute 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 $5,200 goes: • Transport to the Bellevue Oncology Institute: $910 • Scans and lab work: $2,000 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,800 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $490 I hope life is good to you. - Laura

Updates from Laura

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($254 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,499 in total) I made the first payment toward scans and lab work. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Thinking of you, Laura. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.

      Rooting for you, Laura. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 27 people at work. All the best.

            thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

              Hope things get better soon, Laura. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 30 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
