Russell was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in July. The oncology team at London University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Russell is 56, worked as a tailor until July, 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 London University Hospital 5 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 $7,800 goes: โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,500 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $330 โ€ข Scans and lab work: $970 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
