Keith was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in September. The oncology team at the Winston-Salem Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Keith is 35, worked as a farmer until September, 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 Winston-Salem 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 $10,150 goes: โ€ข Household costs while unable to work: $1,450 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $330 โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,250 โ€ข Transport to the Winston-Salem Oncology Institute: $1,120 Glad we found this place.

  2. Update from Winston-Salem: we've started the first stage. We're at 11% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,628 in total) the plan for nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
