Fighting cervical cancer: help Ingrid afford treatment in Santos
6 rounds of treatment are planned at the Santos Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Ingrid was diagnosed with cervical cancer in November. The oncology team at the Santos Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in January. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Ingrid is 25, worked as a taxi driver until November, 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 Santos Oncology Institute 2 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 $3,600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,400
• Transport to the Santos Oncology Institute: $260
• Household costs while unable to work: $660
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $280
Thanks for being kind about this.
- Vanessa

I hope things turn around soon. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Thinking of you. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Thinking of you, Vanessa. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update. Take care
Sending good thoughts. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Dodoma.
Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Lille
