Standing with Craig: Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs

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

Craig was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Charlotte Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Craig is 24, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until August, 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 Charlotte Regional Medical Center 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 $11,650 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,500 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,250 • Transport to Charlotte Regional Medical Center: $900 Thank you so much. - Amelia
