Shai's non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund

Shai is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Shai was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in February. The oncology team at Tel Aviv University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Shai is 58, worked as a nurse until February, 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 Tel Aviv University Hospital 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 $8,500 goes: • Scans and lab work: $1,150 • Transport to Tel Aviv University Hospital: $620 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,730 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Gili

  1. Small update. $140 so far, I made the first payment toward scans and lab work.
