Help Ramón through 4 rounds of treatment for stage 3 ovarian cancer

4 rounds of treatment are planned at the Syracuse Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Syracuse
Ramón was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in July. The oncology team at the Syracuse Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Ramón is 39, worked as a construction supervisor until July, 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 Syracuse 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $5,400 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,200 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $480 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,050 • Scans and lab work: $670 If you're reading this, thank you.

    This is what community support looks like. They didn't just offer generic advice; they provided personalized help tailored to my specific situation.

    Quick response, great follow-up

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.
