Help Ramón through 6 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma

6 rounds of treatment are planned at Rockford Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Rockford
Ramón was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in April. The oncology team at Rockford Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Ramón is 28, worked as a construction supervisor 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 Rockford 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 $12,600 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,250 • Scans and lab work: $920 • Transport to Rockford Regional Medical Center: $1,100 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $530 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,800 Thanks for being kind about this. - Cristina
