Help Wayne through 4 rounds of treatment for kidney cancer
Supporting Wayne through kidney cancer: medication, transport to Portland Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇺🇸 Portland, Oregon, United States4,302 views
Wayne was diagnosed with kidney cancer in May. The oncology team at Portland Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Wayne is 50, worked as a farmer until May, 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 Portland Regional Medical Center 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $12,400 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,750
• Scans and lab work: $1,550
• Transport to Portland Regional Medical Center: $810
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $490
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,800
I hope life is good to you.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Wayne?
Thank you. If you're in Portland I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
Thinking of you and your family, Mackenzie. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Thanks for sharing this, Mackenzie. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless
