Fighting non-Hodgkin lymphoma: help Gabriela afford treatment in Guarulhos

Gabriela is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Guarulhos
Gabriela was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in October. The oncology team at the Guarulhos Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Gabriela is 54, worked as a nurse until October, 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 the Guarulhos Oncology Institute 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $3,700 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,500 • Scans and lab work: $270 • Household costs while unable to work: $630 • Transport to the Guarulhos Oncology Institute: $300 Thank you so much. - Cristiane

        Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Guarulhos.

        • Karthik D. Varadarajan

          So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Nairobi.

                  So sorry you're going through this, Cristiane. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Montréal so I could bring a meal. Love from Winston-Salem
