Help me through 8 rounds of treatment for early-stage lung cancer
Supporting Miguel through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to Cincinnati University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.

In January I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at Cincinnati University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in April. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 41, I worked as a hairdresser until January, 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 Cincinnati University Hospital 2 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 $8,350 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $480
• Household costs while unable to work: $900
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,500
• Scans and lab work: $1,470
Every share and every dollar helps.
- Miguel
