Standing with Derek: a rare sarcoma treatment costs

Supporting Derek through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to Manchester University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.

Derek was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in September. The oncology team at Manchester University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Derek is 29, worked as a farmer until September, 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 Manchester 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 $8,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,550 • Scans and lab work: $1,150 • Transport to Manchester University Hospital: $870 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $830 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,150 I hope life is good to you. - Aria

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,691 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $1,930 raised so far (23%). the plan for transport to Manchester University Hospital is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Update from Manchester: we've started the first stage. We're at 55% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
