Standing with Ezekiel: multiple myeloma treatment costs
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Brandon Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇨🇦 Manitoba, Canada6,571 views
Ezekiel was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in February. The oncology team at Brandon Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Ezekiel is 41, worked as a construction supervisor until February, 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 Brandon Cancer Centre 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 $6,400 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,800
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $510
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,090
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ezekiel?
Thank you. If you're in Brandon I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Sacramento
