Help James through 4 rounds of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia

4 rounds of treatment are planned at Springfield Cancer Centre; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.

James was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in July. The oncology team at Springfield Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. James is 25, worked as a shop owner until July, 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 Springfield Cancer Centre 4 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 $7,250 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,600 • Transport to Springfield Cancer Centre: $690 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,500 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $460 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Delilah

Updates from Delilah

  1. Update from Springfield: I made the first payment toward transport to Springfield Cancer Centre. We're at 31% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

          Hang in there, Delilah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
