New York
Rafael was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in June. The oncology team at New York Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Rafael is 51, worked as a shop owner until June, 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 New York Cancer Centre 5 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 $11,950 goes: • Scans and lab work: $1,550 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $10,000 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $400 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Víctor
