Cristiane's colon cancer treatment fund

Cristiane is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Cristiane was diagnosed with colon cancer in July. The oncology team at São Paulo University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Cristiane is 30, worked as a hairdresser 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 São Paulo University Hospital 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,000 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $380 • Scans and lab work: $370 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $250 I hope life is good to you.
