Corazon's colon cancer treatment fund
Corazon is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇵🇭 Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines1,355 views
Corazon was diagnosed with colon cancer in December. The oncology team at Manila University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in February. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Corazon is 33, worked as a hairdresser until December, 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 Manila 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $700 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $200
• Household costs while unable to work: $410
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
