Help Lawrence through 12 rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer
Lawrence is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom7,079 views
Lawrence was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in November. The oncology team at Nottingham Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in February. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Lawrence is 37, worked as a farmer until November, 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 Nottingham 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $8,450 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,100
• Scans and lab work: $830
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,520
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing Lawrence a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
I hope things turn around soon. After 17 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Palermo
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
Keep going. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Sending love. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
