Maringá
Letícia was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in June. The oncology team at the Maringá Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Letícia is 36, worked as a bank teller until June, 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 the Maringá 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,850 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $610 • Scans and lab work: $540 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,500 • Transport to the Maringá Oncology Institute: $200 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    you're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. Put this on a community board in Jakarta this morning. Thinking of Maringá.

        Stay strong, Aparecida. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
