Help Wolfgang through 10 rounds of treatment for cervical cancer

10 rounds of treatment are planned at Duisburg Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Duisburg
Wolfgang was diagnosed with cervical cancer in July. The oncology team at Duisburg Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Wolfgang is 33, worked as a shop owner until July, 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 Duisburg Regional Medical Center 2 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 $10,700 goes: • Scans and lab work: $940 • Transport to Duisburg Regional Medical Center: $1,050 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,950 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,760 I hope life is good to you. - Elisabeth

Updates from Elisabeth

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($3,783 in total) the plan for scans and lab work is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. 24% there. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.

  3. We're at 7% thanks to 32 of you. I made the first payment toward chemotherapy and medication not covered. More news soon.
