Beatriz's multiple myeloma treatment fund

Beatriz is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Beatriz was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in July. The oncology team at Ribeirão Preto University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Beatriz is 55, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until July, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Ribeirão Preto University Hospital 3 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,000 • Scans and lab work: $410 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Bianca

Updates from Bianca

  1. Update from Ribeirão Preto: I made the first payment toward scans and lab work. We're at 20% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

        Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best

          Hope it all works out, Bianca. Shared it with a few friends

          • Bikash Bijay Shrestha

            everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
