Standing with Brett: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs

Brett was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in January. The oncology team at Pretoria Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Brett is 54, worked as a bus conductor 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 Pretoria Regional Medical Center 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 $2,650 goes: • Transport to Pretoria Regional Medical Center: $210 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,100 • Household costs while unable to work: $220 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Fiona
