Caio's stomach cancer treatment fund

Caio was diagnosed with stomach cancer in May. The oncology team at the Rio de Janeiro Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Caio is 56, worked as a bus conductor until May, 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 Rio de Janeiro Oncology Institute 5 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 $2,650 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,350 • Scans and lab work: $200 • Transport to the Rio de Janeiro Oncology Institute: $165 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $155 • Household costs while unable to work: $780 I hope life is good to you.
