Monique's stomach cancer treatment fund

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

Spanish Town
Monique was diagnosed with stomach cancer in May. The oncology team at Spanish Town Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Monique is 36, worked as a primary school teacher until May, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Spanish Town Regional Medical Center 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250 • Scans and lab work: $430 • Household costs while unable to work: $710 • Transport to Spanish Town Regional Medical Center: $110 Thank you so much.

Updates from Delroy

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 13% funded and I made the first payment toward transport to Spanish Town Regional Medical Center.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 9% now ($225). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Monique

    • Delroy B. StewartOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($1,250) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.

  • Jorge K. Villalobos

    Thinking of you and your family, Delroy. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best!

    • Wangari Florence Ssemwogerere

      A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Saint Catherine. I'll ask around and let you know
