Fighting prostate cancer: help Jorge afford treatment in Campinas
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Campinas Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇧🇷 Brazil3,185 views
Jorge was diagnosed with prostate cancer in September. The oncology team at Campinas Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in January. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Jorge is 44, worked as a taxi driver until September, 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 Campinas 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 $2,300 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,600
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $200
• Scans and lab work: $370
• Transport to Campinas Regional Medical Center: $130
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

good luck, Maurício. Wishing Jorge a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Keep going, Maurício. Your post was clear and honest.
Hope this works out for you. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Thessaloniki
Good luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out
Wishing you the best, Maurício. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 8 people at work.
This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Hialeah.
hope it all works out, Maurício. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Thanks for sharing this, Maurício. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Sending strength, Maurício. Hope you get there. Blessings
