Help Micah through 12 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer
Supporting Micah through stomach cancer: medication, transport to the Ann Arbor Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇺🇸 Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States2,445 views
Micah was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August. The oncology team at the Ann Arbor Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Micah is 42, worked as a hairdresser 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 the Ann Arbor Oncology Institute 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 $7,400 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,550
• Scans and lab work: $1,800
• Transport to the Ann Arbor Oncology Institute: $460
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $470
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,120
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you, Riley. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Riley. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Rockford
Hope things get better soon, Riley. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. It's not much but it's yours.
hope things get better soon, Riley. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Stockholm.
Hope things get better soon, Riley. Hope the doctors have good news!
Hope things get better soon, Riley. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Kampala this morning.
Sending good thoughts, Riley. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 11 people at work.

Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Accra donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
