Help Rui through 10 rounds of treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Rui is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇦🇺 New South Wales, Australia7,914 views
Rui was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Sydney Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Rui is 57, worked as a farmer 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 Sydney Cancer Centre 3 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 $7,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,550
• Scans and lab work: $1,350
• Transport to Sydney Cancer Centre: $1,050
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $310
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,840
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Ann Arbor!
Take care, Zhi. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
