Jacob's multiple myeloma treatment fund

Supporting Jacob through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to the Columbus Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.

Jacob was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at the Columbus Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Jacob is 33, worked as a construction supervisor 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 the Columbus Oncology Institute 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $11,350 goes: • Scans and lab work: $790 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,650 • Transport to the Columbus Oncology Institute: $930 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,980 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Aubree
