Help Russell through 10 rounds of treatment for stage 2 breast cancer

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

Bristol
Russell was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in April. The oncology team at Bristol University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Russell is 26, worked as a bank teller 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 Bristol 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 $9,450 goes: • Scans and lab work: $1,500 • Transport to Bristol University Hospital: $460 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,490 Thank you for reading my story. - Maya
