Help Jose through 10 rounds of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia

10 rounds of treatment are planned at the Greensboro Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Jose was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in February. The oncology team at the Greensboro Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Jose is 35, worked as a taxi driver until February, 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 Greensboro Oncology Institute 3 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 $13,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $9,500 • Scans and lab work: $860 • Transport to the Greensboro Oncology Institute: $730 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $850 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,410 Thanks for reading all this.
