Campinas
Ronaldo was diagnosed with cervical cancer in July. The oncology team at Campinas Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Ronaldo is 39, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until July, 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 Campinas Cancer Centre 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,650 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,300 • Scans and lab work: $340 • Transport to Campinas Cancer Centre: $260 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $270 • Household costs while unable to work: $480 Thanks for reading all this.

  • Take care, Ricardo. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
