Help Rubel through 4 rounds of treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma

Rubel is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Rubel was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in February. The oncology team at Liverpool Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Rubel is 35, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until February, 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 Liverpool Cancer Centre 2 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 $6,750 goes: • Transport to Liverpool Cancer Centre: $700 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $330 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,400 • Scans and lab work: $1,320 Thank you so much. - Shima
