Help Rylee through 12 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer
Rylee is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world4,305 views
Rylee was diagnosed with prostate cancer in July. The oncology team at the Phoenix Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Rylee is 56, worked as a hairdresser until July, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Phoenix Oncology Institute 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $4,750 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,400
• Scans and lab work: $1,550
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $800
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
