Bronx
Howard was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at Bronx Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Howard is 47, worked as a hairdresser 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 Bronx Regional Medical Center 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 $7,750 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $450 • Scans and lab work: $1,100 • Transport to Bronx Regional Medical Center: $940 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,260 Glad we found this place. - Riley

      So sorry you're going through this, Riley. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
