São Paulo
Kelly was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in July. The oncology team at São Paulo Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Kelly is 24, 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 her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to São Paulo Regional Medical Center 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 $1,400 goes: • Transport to São Paulo Regional Medical Center: $160 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $130 • Household costs while unable to work: $520 • Scans and lab work: $590 Every share and every dollar helps.
