Standing with Eli: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Sydney Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇦🇺 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia1,068 views
Eli was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in August. The oncology team at Sydney Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Eli is 40, worked as a taxi driver 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 Sydney 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $10,000 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $430
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,800
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,770
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
