Nicholas was diagnosed with kidney cancer in July. The oncology team at the London Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Nicholas is 30, worked as a hairdresser 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 the London Oncology Institute 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 $7,050 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $300 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,800 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,950 Every share and every dollar helps. - Frank

                • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Madrid

                    • best of luck. This could happen to any of us. After 17 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
