Help Theodore through 12 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Los Angeles Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
Anywhere in the world2,566 views
Theodore was diagnosed with prostate cancer in June. The oncology team at Los Angeles Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Theodore is 26, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until June, 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 Los Angeles Cancer Centre 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 $3,850 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,400
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $460
• Scans and lab work: $1,100
• Transport to Los Angeles Cancer Centre: $890
With deep gratitude,
Douglas
Updates from Douglas
Small update. $912 so far, the plan for transport to Los Angeles Cancer Centre is now scheduled.
Update from Los Angeles: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 12% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Hanoi.
Best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
wishing you the best, Douglas. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. God bless
Hang in there, Douglas. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Bogotá donated after I showed her your page.
