Corpus Christi
In August I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. My oncology team at Corpus Christi Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 29, I worked as a bank teller until August, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Corpus Christi Cancer Centre 5 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $10,950 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $640 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,250 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,850 • Transport to Corpus Christi Cancer Centre: $1,210 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Shawn

    What's already covered and what's the $10,950 for?

    • Shawn J. MoranOwnerAnswer

      Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is $640 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.

  • Yamuna C. Das

    Take care, Shawn. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!

    • Silvia L. González

        Praying for you, Shawn. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.

        • Mackenzie Keller

          Praying for you, Shawn. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 9 people at work.

                wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Corpus Christi

                • Roberto K. Fuentes

                  So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. After 18 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything
