Standing with Tomás: Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
Tomás is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇺🇸 Erie, Pennsylvania, United States8,760 views
Tomás was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in June. The oncology team at Erie Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Tomás is 33, worked as a bakery worker until June, 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 Erie 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $8,200 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,000
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,250
• Transport to Erie Regional Medical Center: $460
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $490

Sending good thoughts, Alejandra. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Wishing you peace. Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
praying for you, Alejandra. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in Aurangabad donated after I showed her your page.
