Help Frank through 10 rounds of treatment for cervical cancer

10 rounds of treatment are planned at the Düsseldorf Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Düsseldorf
Frank was diagnosed with cervical cancer in May. The oncology team at the Düsseldorf Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Frank is 31, worked as a bus conductor 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 Düsseldorf Oncology Institute 5 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 $7,050 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,600 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,000 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $450 With deep gratitude, Daniel
