Aldo's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
Supporting Aldo through Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to the Rome Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇮🇹 Rome, Lazio, Italy3,001 views
Aldo was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in April. The oncology team at the Rome Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Aldo is 51, worked as a construction supervisor until April, 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 Rome 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $4,450 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $950
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $600
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,450
• Scans and lab work: $450
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending strength. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Wollongong
Rooting for you, Donatella. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best
