Standing with Elijah: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs
Supporting Elijah through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to Sydney Cancer Centre, and living costs while He cannot work.
Anywhere in the world4,975 views
Elijah was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August. The oncology team at Sydney Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Elijah is 24, worked as a nurse 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 Cancer Centre 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $7,550 goes:
• Transport to Sydney Cancer Centre: $1,050
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,000
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $500
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Keep going, Crystal. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.
rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Hialeah.
