Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Edilene afford treatment in São Paulo

6 rounds of treatment are planned at São Paulo University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

São Paulo
Edilene was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in October. The oncology team at São Paulo University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in January. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Edilene is 51, worked as a construction supervisor 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 São Paulo University Hospital 4 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $550 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115 • Household costs while unable to work: $280 • Transport to São Paulo University Hospital: $155 I hope life is good to you.
