Help Wesley through 12 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Ballarat University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Wesley was diagnosed with stomach cancer in April. The oncology team at Ballarat University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Wesley is 52, worked as a farmer 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 Ballarat University Hospital 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $3,300 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $1,400
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $430
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,470
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to El Paso so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Ballarat.
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 10 people at work. Love from Howrah.
Wishing you peace, Quinn. Hope the doctors have good news.
hope things get better soon, Quinn. Hope you get there. Love from Laredo.
You're not alone, Quinn. Get well soon. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Ballarat
Good luck, Quinn. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Wishing you the best. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We're a small family in Lagos but we're thinking of you. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, Quinn. This could happen to any of us. Love from Petrópolis.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Newcastle upon Tyne this morning. Greetings from Newcastle upon Tyne.
good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
