Help Jesse through 10 rounds of treatment for stage 2 breast cancer

Supporting Jesse through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to Haarlem Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.

Haarlem
Jesse was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in July. The oncology team at Haarlem Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Jesse is 27, worked as a bakery worker 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 Haarlem Cancer Centre 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 $8,450 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,400 • Scans and lab work: $1,100 • Transport to Haarlem Cancer Centre: $940 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $580 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,430 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
