Hamilton
Levi was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in August. The oncology team at the Hamilton Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Levi is 41, worked as a bus conductor until August, 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 the Hamilton Oncology Institute 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $9,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,750 • Scans and lab work: $1,000 • Transport to the Hamilton Oncology Institute: $690 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $420 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,140 I hope life is good to you. - Grayson

  • keep going, Grayson. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.

    • So sorry you're going through this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest!

      • I hope things turn around soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Hamilton.

        • Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Surat so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Leicester.

          • Hope things get better soon, Grayson. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
