Help Patrick through 6 rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Berlin Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇩🇪 Germany1,363 views
Patrick was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in May. The oncology team at Berlin Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Patrick is 30, worked as a farmer until May, 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 Berlin 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $6,400 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,600
• Scans and lab work: $800
• Transport to Berlin Regional Medical Center: $380
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $340
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,280
Every share and every dollar helps.

Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from San Diego.
Best of luck, Christina. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Good luck, Christina. Shared this with my family. God bless.
Thinking of you, Christina. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
You're not alone, Christina. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
Best of luck, Christina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Cardiff.
Thanks for sharing this, Christina. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Puebla so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Berlin.
Hang in there, Christina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Berlin.
Rooting for you, Christina. Wishing Patrick a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from San Diego.
