Detroit
Elias was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Detroit Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Elias is 48, worked as a construction supervisor 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 Detroit Cancer Centre 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 $9,300 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $610 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,250 • Scans and lab work: $1,050 • Transport to Detroit Cancer Centre: $390 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Aria

      sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 12 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.

            Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Manila.
