Standing with Angel: multiple myeloma treatment costs
Supporting Angel through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to London University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇬🇧 SE15 8BY, London, England, United Kingdom4,047 views
Angel was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in February. The oncology team at London University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Angel is 47, worked as a bus conductor 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 London University Hospital 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 $6,600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,000
• Scans and lab work: $540
• Transport to London University Hospital: $440
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $450
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,170
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Luke
Small update. $2,401 so far, the plan for nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is now scheduled.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,184 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Thinking of you, Luke. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 10 people at work.
Take care, Luke. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Best of luck, Luke. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Narayanganj donated after I showed her your page.
