Uberlândia
Leandro was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in June. The oncology team at Uberlândia Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Leandro is 29, worked as a farmer 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 Uberlândia Regional Medical Center 2 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 $3,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,100 • Scans and lab work: $420 • Transport to Uberlândia Regional Medical Center: $300 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $220 • Household costs while unable to work: $510 Thanks for being kind about this. - Diego

Updates from Diego

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($956 in total) I made the first payment toward transport to Uberlândia Regional Medical Center. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($400 in total) I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
