Hello, My name is Zoe. I started this go fund me with hopes I can raise money for my dad, his name is Zachary Cheromiah. Zak has some money to help him with medical expenses but is having a hard time now as his funds are running low. He was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer in Oct 2017. Since then his cancer has spread to His spine which he has had surgery on twice. He has has 3 treatments of radiation, infusion therapy and 2 types of chemo pills. Right now he on a chemo pill to help control, slow and possibly stop the growth and spread of the cancer. With this he has had to quit his job and move home from Pennsylvania. While he has been home he was making good progress until March 2020 when his cancer started to grow more on his spine. He had radiation to try and stop it and started his second round chemo pills which seem to be helping him. He is currently staying with me and my family. He was staying with his significant other but her mother is sick and isn’t capable of helping him and her mother. Recently we found out that his insurance he’s been on since the beginning of his cancer journey has stopped with no chance of renewing his policy. Right now we are on the look out of finding a new insurance, he has Medicaid but it’s not as good of coverage as the insurance he was on. With this, we found out that now he will have to pay for his chemo pills, which are over $21,000 for a 30 day supply, with a co pay of over $1000-$3000 On top of that we have to travel over an hour to his medical appts in Albuquerque, NM with that comes travel expenses also medical supplies needed at home being that he is bed ridden cuz of the cancer on his spine. I know we are in the middle of a pandemic and everyone is having their own problems with money and jobs. I’m just trying to find some way to help him with some of his financial burdens. He’s always been there to help his family with everything he’s had. Always been the one I called when I needed extra help and always did what he could. Now I’m just trying to return the favor and help him anyway I can. Just trying to ease some of the stress on top of him fighting to beat his cancer. So if you can help, please do. Anything helps even if it is just a prayer, thank you in advance and may you be blessed with much more in return.
