Standing with Travis: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs

Travis is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Travis was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in July. The oncology team at Warren Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Travis is 54, worked as a shop owner 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 Warren Cancer Centre 3 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 $3,300 goes: • Scans and lab work: $1,100 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,300 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $900 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Eliana

  1. Quick update: $1,113 raised so far (34%). I made the first payment toward scans and lab work. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($929 in total) I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Update from Warren: I made the first payment toward scans and lab work. We're at 17% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

        Rooting for you. Wishing Travis a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Montego Bay but we're thinking of you.
