Help Raymond through 12 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer
Raymond is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world915 views
Raymond was diagnosed with stomach cancer in April. The oncology team at Aberdeen Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Raymond is 49, worked as a nurse 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 Aberdeen 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 $5,550 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,450
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,400
• Transport to Aberdeen Regional Medical Center: $700
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hang in there. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Best of luck. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Guadalupe donated after I showed her your page
good luck, Patrick. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 8 people at work. Thinking of Aberdeen.
Thanks for sharing this, Patrick. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Thinking of you and your family, Patrick. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
