Wesley's stage 2 breast cancer treatment fund

Supporting Wesley through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to the Leeds Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.

Leeds
Wesley was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in August. The oncology team at the Leeds Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Wesley is 54, worked as a bus conductor 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 the Leeds Oncology Institute 2 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 $9,650 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,000 • Scans and lab work: $700 • Transport to the Leeds Oncology Institute: $1,000 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $540 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,410 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Elijah

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($745 in total) the plan for household costs while unable to work is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
