Russell's prostate cancer treatment fund

Supporting Russell through prostate cancer: medication, transport to Miami Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He cannot work.

Miami
Russell was diagnosed with prostate cancer in January. The oncology team at Miami Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Russell is 51, worked as a taxi driver until January, 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 Miami Regional Medical Center 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $10,600 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $950 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $390 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $9,260 If you're reading this, thank you.
