Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Divina afford treatment in Lapu-Lapu
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Lapu-Lapu University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇵🇭 Lapu-Lapu, Cebu, Philippines977 views
Divina was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in April. The oncology team at Lapu-Lapu University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Divina is 29, worked as a construction supervisor until April, 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 Lapu-Lapu 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $900 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $250
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85
• Transport to Lapu-Lapu University Hospital: $210
• Household costs while unable to work: $355
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

You're not alone, Corazon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Berlin so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Celaya.
Keep going, Corazon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 19 people at work. Take care
Wishing you peace, Corazon. Wishing Divina a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Dasmariñas donated after I showed her your page.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Divina.
Scans and lab work is $250 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
Wishing you peace, Corazon. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Mumbai.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Butwal.
shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Gujranwala so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
