Help Isaiah through 12 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer
Isaiah is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇺🇸 United States1,788 views
Isaiah was diagnosed with stomach cancer in January. The oncology team at Fresno Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Isaiah is 44, worked as a construction supervisor until January, 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 Fresno Cancer Centre 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 $11,650 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $9,250
• Scans and lab work: $1,500
• Household costs while unable to work: $900
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you, Micah. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
So sorry you're going through this, Micah. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. All the best
