Lawrence's acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment fund

Lawrence is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Lawrence was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August. The oncology team at the Southampton Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Lawrence is 25, worked as a shop owner 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 Southampton 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $6,100 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $660 • Transport to the Southampton Oncology Institute: $450 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,990 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • Take care, Jocelyn. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings

    • This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Mannheim this morning.

      • Sending good thoughts, Jocelyn. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

                  Take care. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Coatzacoalcos!

                  • keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Southampton.

                    • Wishing you peace, Jocelyn. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Taguig so I could bring a meal.

                      • Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
