Micah was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Birmingham Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Micah is 49, worked as a bakery worker until August, 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 Birmingham Regional Medical Center 5 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,450 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $790
• Scans and lab work: $1,250
• Transport to Birmingham Regional Medical Center: $410
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

keep going, Amelia. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Micah!
Sure. The biggest one is household costs while unable to work, $790. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
praying for you, Amelia. Hope this works out for you. After 20 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Thinking of Birmingham
Take care, Amelia. Get well soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Alcalá de Henares.
Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
Hope things get better soon, Amelia. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Veracruz.
