Standing with Jose: a rare sarcoma treatment costs

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Belfast University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Jose was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in May. The oncology team at Belfast University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Jose is 34, worked as a shop owner until May, 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 Belfast University Hospital 2 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 $7,200 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,200 • Scans and lab work: $1,050 • Transport to Belfast University Hospital: $930 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $390 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,630 Glad we found this place.
