Neil's multiple myeloma treatment fund

Neil is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Caloocan
Neil was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in July. The oncology team at Caloocan Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Neil is 45, worked as a farmer until July, 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 Caloocan 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,200 goes: • Transport to Caloocan Regional Medical Center: $170 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $660 • Scans and lab work: $290 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $80 Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Francis

  1. 50% there. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($521 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 9% now ($111). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. - Francis

      Wishing you the best, Francis. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Nagpur donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
