Manila
Christian was diagnosed with prostate cancer in March. The oncology team at Manila Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Christian is 42, worked as a construction supervisor until March, 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 Manila 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,050 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $530 • Transport to Manila Regional Medical Center: $90 • Household costs while unable to work: $300 • Scans and lab work: $130 I hope life is good to you. - Vanessa
