Dear family and friends,

I have set up this back a buddy to help my friend, Sean, who will commence treatment this week for Stage 4 cancer of the vocal cords and larynx as well as the esophagus. Even though Sean has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, the cancer is still isolated enough that the doctors are confident the treatment plan will work to kill the cancer cells.

Sean has no medical aid and so is reliant on the government facilities which so far have been fantastic in their care. Sean's treatment involves chemotherapy and radiation every weekday for the next 6 weeks.

To receive treatment, Sean travels to Tygerberg Hospital from Somerset West (60km roundtrip) in an old (fingers crossed reliable) car that he has borrowed from a friend.

Sean is the most genuine person you will ever meet. He lives a very uncomplicated life in Somerset West, working from home and walking in to town for his needs.

Besides the shock of this diagnosis, it has come with extra expenses that Sean can't afford. Extra costs has been the medicinal supplements and now the petrol expense to travel to Tygerberg daily.

The target set out here will cover these expenses for the next 6 weeks. Sean will also receive hospital bills at a later stage. Even though he is receiving treatment at a government hosiptal, in South Africa, one still receives and account based on your income.

Please help me support Sean so that he may focus on his treatment and healing.

Thank you!

Love Nat
