Help Logan through 12 rounds of treatment for a rare sarcoma

Logan is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Logan was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in April. The oncology team at Minneapolis University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Logan is 26, worked as a shop owner until April, 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 Minneapolis University Hospital 2 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 $6,550 goes: • Scans and lab work: $1,300 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,450 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $800 If you're reading this, thank you. - Lauren

Updates from Lauren

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 22% funded and the plan for scans and lab work is now scheduled.

  2. 13% there. I made the first payment toward scans and lab work. Thank you.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($444 in total) the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
