10 rounds of treatment are planned at Lapu-Lapu University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Lapu-Lapu
Ronnie was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in November. The oncology team at Lapu-Lapu University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Ronnie is 25, worked as a construction supervisor until November, 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 Lapu-Lapu 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $480 • Scans and lab work: $240 • Transport to Lapu-Lapu University Hospital: $170 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115 • Household costs while unable to work: $345 I hope life is good to you.
