Help Théo through 4 rounds of treatment for kidney cancer
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Lyon University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇫🇷 France2,220 views
Théo was diagnosed with kidney cancer in April. The oncology team at Lyon University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Théo is 35, worked as a bakery worker 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 Lyon University Hospital 5 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 $7,650 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,000
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,300
• Transport to Lyon University Hospital: $350
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Amélie
Thank you all. We're at 8% now ($578). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.

you're not alone, Amélie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Zapopan but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Makati but we're thinking of you.
Thanks for sharing this, Amélie. This could happen to any of us. All the best
Hope it all works out, Amélie. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Jakarta.
