Fighting cervical cancer: help Gabriella afford treatment in Brescia
Gabriella is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world1,731 views
Gabriella was diagnosed with cervical cancer in April. The oncology team at Brescia Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Gabriella is 52, 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 her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Brescia Regional Medical Center 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 $4,550 goes:
• Transport to Brescia Regional Medical Center: $480
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,000
• Scans and lab work: $1,070
Glad we found this place.

Hang in there. Wishing Gabriella a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Keep going, Raffaella. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
Best of luck, Raffaella. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Sending strength, Raffaella. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Juazeiro do Norte.
You're not alone, Raffaella. Hope the doctors have good news. My husband and I read this together.
Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Aswan.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Athens so I could bring a meal.
