Help Kevin through 8 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma

Kevin is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Sacramento
Kevin was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Sacramento Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Kevin is 29, worked as a shop owner until August, 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 Sacramento Regional Medical Center 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 $9,850 goes: • Transport to Sacramento Regional Medical Center: $610 • Scans and lab work: $700 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $780 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,760 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Mason
