A dad fears he will be unable to cover his family's energy bills as he battles cancer. Lewis Griffiths says he has had no choice but to work while exhausted from chemotherapy.
The 33-year-old -- whose three children and two stepchildren are aged from three to 19 -- put his savings into setting up a bathroom installation business six months before he was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, a type of blood cancer common among 15-to-34-year-olds. Wales Online reports that there were days he couldn't afford to turn the lights on while undergoing chemo.
When his treatment ended, Lewis, from Cardiff, received the all-clear. But a week later he learned he still had cancer and he now faces another course of the gruelling treatment. Facing more time off work as energy prices and the cost of living soar, Lewis is worried about money. Friends have launched a fundraiser with a target of £4,000 to support the family.
