Munich
In July I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. My oncology team at Munich Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 47, I worked as a construction supervisor until July, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Munich Regional Medical Center 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $3,150 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,100 • Scans and lab work: $1,150 • Transport to Munich Regional Medical Center: $900 Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Dieter

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($829 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($531 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
