Ian was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in June. The oncology team at Los Angeles Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Ian is 54, worked as a bakery worker until June, 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 Los Angeles 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 $1,800 goes: โ€ข Scans and lab work: $800 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $530 โ€ข Transport to Los Angeles Regional Medical Center: $470 If you're reading this, thank you. - Quinn
