Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Arthur afford treatment in Salvador
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Salvador University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Arthur was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in March. The oncology team at Salvador University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Arthur is 48, worked as a farmer until March, 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 Salvador University Hospital 5 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 $2,700 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $540
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,950
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $210
Thanks for being kind about this.

Rooting for you, Roberto. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Jodhpur donated after I showed her your page.
Thinking of you. Hope you get there. All the best!
how is Arthur doing now?
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Fukuoka so I could bring a meal.
What exactly is the $2,700 for?
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. household costs while unable to work is the biggest at $540. Thanks for asking.
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Take care
Sending good thoughts, Roberto. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Salvador.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about household costs while unable to work, advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.
Thinking of you and your family, Roberto. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side
So sorry you're going through this, Roberto. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Lahore.
You're not alone, Roberto. Wishing Arthur a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
good luck. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Roberto. Get well soon. All the best
Hope it all works out, Roberto. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 13 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you peace. Hope the doctors have good news.
Hang in there, Roberto. Shared this with my family.
