Ribeirão Preto
Enzo was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in November. The oncology team at the Ribeirão Preto Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in February. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Enzo is 30, worked as a shop owner 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 Ribeirão Preto 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 $2,600 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,500 • Scans and lab work: $450 • Transport to the Ribeirão Preto Oncology Institute: $135 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $170 • Household costs while unable to work: $345 I hope life is good to you. - Caio
