Edgardo's stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment fund
Supporting Edgardo through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to the Makati Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇵🇭 Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines2,652 views
Edgardo was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in November. The oncology team at the Makati Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in January. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Edgardo is 49, worked as a tailor until November, 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 Makati Oncology Institute 2 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 $1,900 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050
• Scans and lab work: $195
• Transport to the Makati Oncology Institute: $175
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60
• Household costs while unable to work: $420
Glad we found this place.
