Odesa
Ihor was diagnosed with prostate cancer in February. The oncology team at Odesa Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Ihor is 39, worked as a primary school teacher until February, 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 Odesa Regional Medical Center 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,150 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050 • Scans and lab work: $380 • Transport to Odesa Regional Medical Center: $230 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $190 • Household costs while unable to work: $300 If you're reading this, thank you.

              Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.

                Thanks for sharing this, Anastasia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Angeles
