Manila
Dennis was diagnosed with colon cancer in July. The oncology team at Manila University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Dennis is 28, worked as a hairdresser 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 Manila 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $640 • Scans and lab work: $230 • Transport to Manila University Hospital: $180 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $145 • Household costs while unable to work: $305 Every share and every dollar helps. - Patricia

  • Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Austin.
