Fighting multiple myeloma: help Leandro afford treatment in Fortaleza

Leandro was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in June. The oncology team at Fortaleza Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Leandro is 31, worked as a shop owner until June, 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 Fortaleza Cancer Centre 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 $1,500 goes: • Scans and lab work: $290 • Transport to Fortaleza Cancer Centre: $170 • Household costs while unable to work: $800 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $240 Thank you so much.
