Luke's thyroid cancer treatment fund

Luke is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Luke was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at San Jose Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Luke is 39, worked as a primary school teacher 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 San Jose Cancer Centre 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 $11,050 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $9,250 • Household costs while unable to work: $940 • Scans and lab work: $860 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Raymond

Updates from Raymond

  1. Thank you all. We're at 1% now ($101). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.
