Trevor's stomach cancer treatment fund

Supporting Trevor through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Half-Way Tree Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.

Anywhere in the world1,652 views
Trevor was diagnosed with stomach cancer in May. The oncology team at Half-Way Tree Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Trevor is 39, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 Half-Way Tree 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 $800 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $260 • Scans and lab work: $230 • Transport to Half-Way Tree Regional Medical Center: $310 Thanks for being kind about this. - Jamal

  • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Trevor.

    • Wishing you peace, Jamal. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

      • take care, Jamal. I hope things turn around soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.

        • hope things get better soon, Jamal. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together

          • hang in there. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Half-Way Tree.
