Help Jonathan through 8 rounds of treatment for early-stage lung cancer

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

Jonathan was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in April. The oncology team at the Nottingham Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Jonathan is 43, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until April, 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 the Nottingham Oncology Institute 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $7,250 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,000 • Scans and lab work: $610 • Transport to the Nottingham Oncology Institute: $520 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $390 • Household costs while unable to work: $730 Thank you so much.
