Anderson's multiple myeloma treatment fund
Anderson is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇧🇷 Brazil3,181 views
Anderson was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in September. The oncology team at the Guarulhos Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Anderson is 37, worked as a bus conductor until September, 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 Guarulhos 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 $2,200 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $190
• Household costs while unable to work: $400
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150
• Scans and lab work: $460
Thank you so much.

you're not alone. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 32 people at work.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Bristol.
Hope it all works out. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Guarulhos.
Wishing you peace, Giovana. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't give up. Blessings.
Praying for you, Giovana. Looking forward to the next update. Take care!
Keep going, Giovana. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Good luck, Giovana. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't give up. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Giovana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Leipzig this morning.
You're not alone, Giovana. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
