Riverside
Levi was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in June. The oncology team at Riverside Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Levi is 26, worked as a taxi driver until June, 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 Riverside 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 $9,800 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,250 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,950 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $810 • Transport to Riverside Regional Medical Center: $790 Every share and every dollar helps. - Thomas

Updates from Thomas

  1. Small update. $1,862 so far, we've started the first stage.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($868 in total) I made the first payment toward transport to Riverside Regional Medical Center. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

      Thank you. If you're in Riverside I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.

  • Praying for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best

    • Sending love, Thomas. Hope this works out for you. God bless.

      • Hang in there, Thomas. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.

        • Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. God bless.

          • Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Jakarta Barat this morning. Love from Jakarta Barat.

            • rooting for you, Thomas. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
