Help Francesco through 4 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma

Francesco was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in May. The oncology team at Rome Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Francesco is 52, worked as a hairdresser 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 Rome Regional Medical Center 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $4,600 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,350 • Scans and lab work: $790 • Transport to Rome Regional Medical Center: $560 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $270 • Household costs while unable to work: $630 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
