Help Luca through 6 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma

Luca was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in February. The oncology team at the Brooklyn Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Luca is 49, worked as a primary school teacher until February, 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 Brooklyn Oncology Institute 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 $10,300 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,500 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $710 • Transport to the Brooklyn Oncology Institute: $420 • Scans and lab work: $1,670 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
