Help Rowan through 10 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer
Rowan is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇺🇸 United States2,747 views
Rowan was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August. The oncology team at Boston University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Rowan is 45, worked as a shop owner until August, 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 Boston University Hospital 4 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 $8,800 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,050
• Scans and lab work: $1,100
• Transport to Boston University Hospital: $490
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $750
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,410
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

You're not alone, Scarlett. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Brampton.
Shared this with my family. Love from Abbottabad
Keep going, Scarlett. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
