Standing with Levi: thyroid cancer treatment costs

Levi is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Levi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at the Fayetteville Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 5 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 Fayetteville Oncology Institute 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 $10,850 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,600 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,750 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $520 • Transport to the Fayetteville Oncology Institute: $980 Every share and every dollar helps. - Aiden
