Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Gianna afford treatment in Quezon City

Gianna is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Quezon City
Gianna was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in April. The oncology team at the Quezon City Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Gianna is 57, worked as a bus conductor 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 the Quezon City Oncology Institute 4 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 $1,750 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $180 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,350 • Scans and lab work: $220 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Dante
