Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Tiago afford treatment in Niterói
Supporting Tiago through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to Niterói University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇧🇷 Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil1,853 views
Tiago was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in April. The oncology team at Niterói University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Tiago is 56, worked as a farmer until April, 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 Niterói University Hospital 3 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• Transport to Niterói University Hospital: $250
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,750
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $150
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tiago.
Transport to Niterói University Hospital is $250 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
Praying for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings
Good luck, Renata. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Niterói.
