Carlo's prostate cancer treatment fund

Carlo was diagnosed with prostate cancer in December. The oncology team at Catania University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Carlo is 30, worked as a shop owner until December, 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 Catania 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $9,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,500 • Scans and lab work: $770 • Transport to Catania University Hospital: $680 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $500 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,550 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
