Help Joshua through 10 rounds of treatment for a rare sarcoma
Joshua is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom3,500 views
Joshua was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in July. The oncology team at Newcastle upon Tyne Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Joshua is 44, worked as a construction supervisor 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 Newcastle upon Tyne Regional Medical Center 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 $6,950 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,200
• Scans and lab work: $1,300
• Transport to Newcastle upon Tyne Regional Medical Center: $610
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $540
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,300
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

get well soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this, Harold. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Hanoi but we're thinking of you. Love from Hanoi.
hope it all works out, Harold. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings
best of luck, Harold. Hope you get there. Love from Phuket.
Rooting for you, Harold. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Nairobi so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne!
So sorry you're going through this, Harold. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
