Standing with Lester: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
Supporting Lester through non-Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Laval University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇨🇦 Laval, Quebec, Canada1,250 views
Lester was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in March. The oncology team at Laval University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Lester is 51, worked as a construction supervisor until March, 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 Laval 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 $8,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,150
• Scans and lab work: $1,050
• Transport to Laval University Hospital: $920
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $740
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,240
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
