Edilene's cervical cancer treatment fund

6 rounds of treatment are planned at Curitiba Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Curitiba
Edilene was diagnosed with cervical cancer in July. The oncology team at Curitiba Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Edilene is 36, worked as a bank teller 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 Curitiba Regional Medical Center 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $4,050 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,450 • Scans and lab work: $490 • Transport to Curitiba Regional Medical Center: $195 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $250 • Household costs while unable to work: $665 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Aline
