Help Raphaël through 4 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer

4 rounds of treatment are planned at Paris University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Paris
Raphaël was diagnosed with stomach cancer in December. The oncology team at Paris University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Raphaël is 53, worked as a tailor until December, 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 Paris University Hospital 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 $2,600 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $460 • Transport to Paris University Hospital: $710 • Scans and lab work: $1,430 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Arthur

Updates from Arthur

  1. Update from Paris: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 14% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 9% now ($245). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team.
