Help Henryk through 4 rounds of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Henryk is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Katowice
Henryk was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in June. The oncology team at Katowice Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Henryk is 26, worked as a shop owner until June, 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 Katowice 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 $3,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,600 • Scans and lab work: $620 • Transport to Katowice Regional Medical Center: $360 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $280 • Household costs while unable to work: $690 Thanks for reading all this.
