Standing with Leo: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs

Supporting Leo through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to Manukau University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.

Leo was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in April. The oncology team at Manukau University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Leo is 29, worked as a bank teller until April, 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 Manukau 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,550 goes: • Scans and lab work: $1,550 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $270 • Transport to Manukau University Hospital: $730 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • Stay strong, Anna. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Caxias do Sul!

    • Wishing you the best, Anna. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Likoni so I could bring a meal.

      • You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Love from São Paulo.

        • Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
