Help Patrick through 6 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer
Patrick is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇦🇺 6005, Perth, Western Australia, Australia5,119 views
Patrick was diagnosed with stomach cancer in April. The oncology team at Perth Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Patrick is 44, worked as a bank teller until April, 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 Perth Cancer Centre 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $8,100 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $1,250
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $860
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,050
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,940
Thanks for being kind about this.

good luck, Cora. Hope the doctors have good news. Please keep us posted. All the best.
rooting for you, Cora. Hope you get there!
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Johannesburg so I could bring a meal.
