Newport
Alexander was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in December. The oncology team at Newport Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in February. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Alexander is 29, worked as a bank teller until December, 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 Newport Cancer Centre 3 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 $6,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,450 • Scans and lab work: $740 • Transport to Newport Cancer Centre: $670 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $590 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,550 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

    hope it all works out, Rebecca. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Jaipur this morning. Blessings.

    • Maricel H. Lacson

      You're not alone, Rebecca. Hope this works out for you. Take care.

      • Kumiko Kaori Yamaguchi

        Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care

        • Snehal A. Parikh

          Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Newport.

          • Mohan B. Goud

            thinking of you, Rebecca. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
