Help Jameson through 12 rounds of treatment for early-stage lung cancer

Jameson is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Jameson was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in May. The oncology team at Belfast Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Jameson is 51, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until May, 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 Belfast 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 $2,900 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $510 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,350 • Scans and lab work: $1,040 Thank you so much. - Alyssa
