Help me through 8 rounds of treatment for stage 3 ovarian cancer
Beau is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

In May I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at the Hamilton Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 27, I worked as a taxi driver until May, 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 Hamilton Oncology Institute 3 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $5,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,450
• Scans and lab work: $540
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,010
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
