Las Cruces
Wesley was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in May. The oncology team at Las Cruces University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Wesley is 32, worked as a shop owner 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 Las Cruces University Hospital 4 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 $9,200 goes: • Transport to Las Cruces University Hospital: $620 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,000 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $670 • Household costs while unable to work: $910 Thanks for being kind about this.
