Help Hudson through 6 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer

6 rounds of treatment are planned at Manchester Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Hudson was diagnosed with stomach cancer in June. The oncology team at Manchester Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Hudson is 54, worked as a taxi driver 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 Manchester Regional Medical Center 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $8,050 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,000 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,550 • Transport to Manchester Regional Medical Center: $990 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $510 Thank you so much.

Updates from Angel

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($3,508 in total) I made the first payment toward chemotherapy and medication not covered. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Small update. $1,478 so far, the plan for transport to Manchester Regional Medical Center is now scheduled.

  3. Update from Manchester: the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled. We're at 8% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Quick response, great follow-up

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

        Take care, Angel. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Dnipro.
