Raymond's thyroid cancer treatment fund
Supporting Raymond through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to the Laredo Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇺🇸 Laredo, Texas, United States4,204 views
Raymond was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at the Laredo Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Raymond is 44, worked as a bank teller 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 the Laredo Oncology Institute 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $5,700 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $300
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,550
• Transport to the Laredo Oncology Institute: $850
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

- Amazing support system
This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.

Hope things get better soon. Get well soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Thanks for sharing this, Weston. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
sending love, Weston. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
I hope things turn around soon. Love from Wrocław.
Hope it all works out, Weston. Gave what I could, wish it was more!
