Help me through 6 rounds of treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma
Ihor is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

In August I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at the Dnipro Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 53, I worked as a taxi driver until August, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to the Dnipro Oncology Institute 4 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $600 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $270
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $140
• Transport to the Dnipro Oncology Institute: $190
Every share and every dollar helps.

Any update on how things are going in Dnipro?
stay strong, Ihor. Wishing Ihor a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Please keep us posted. God bless.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Dnipro
Thank you. If you're in Dnipro I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
hope things get better soon, Ihor. This could happen to any of us. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Pasig.
sending strength, Ihor. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing Ihor a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings.
keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
