Aurora
Walter was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in August. The oncology team at Aurora Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Walter is 40, worked as a nurse until August, 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 Aurora 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 $11,450 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,500 • Scans and lab work: $710 • Transport to Aurora Cancer Centre: $1,100 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $510 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,630 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Aubree

            Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Aurora.

            • Aileen Agustin

              Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care

              • Bennett Page

                Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
