Help Walker through 4 rounds of treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma

Walker is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Walker was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Cairns University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Walker is 49, worked as a bus conductor 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 Cairns University Hospital 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 $3,700 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $380 • Scans and lab work: $1,200 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,300 • Transport to Cairns University Hospital: $820 I hope life is good to you. - Everly
