Standing with Todd: a rare sarcoma treatment costs
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Cairns Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Todd was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in May. The oncology team at Cairns Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Todd is 36, worked as a primary school teacher until May, 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 Cairns Regional Medical Center 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 $7,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,600
• Household costs while unable to work: $940
• Transport to Cairns Regional Medical Center: $880
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $680
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Düsseldorf so I could bring a meal
Sending strength, Everett. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Sydney.
Take care. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Latina this morning. Blessings.
