Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Caio afford treatment in São Paulo
Supporting Caio through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to São Paulo Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil1,814 views
Caio was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in October. The oncology team at São Paulo Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in January. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Caio is 31, worked as a bus conductor until October, 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 São Paulo 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95
• Transport to São Paulo Regional Medical Center: $155
I hope life is good to you.

Take care, Daniela. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Love from Bornova
Thinking of you, Daniela. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Rohini but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
Good luck. Wishing Caio a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of São Paulo.
Hang in there. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of São Paulo.
Wishing you peace. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Love from Kaduna
