Standing with Jonathan: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Oakland University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Jonathan was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in February. The oncology team at Oakland University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Jonathan is 34, worked as a bakery worker 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 Oakland University Hospital 4 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 $9,800 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,500
• Scans and lab work: $1,600
• Transport to Oakland University Hospital: $480
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $380
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,840
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
