Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Carla afford treatment in Venice
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Venice University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
Anywhere in the world3,428 views
Carla was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in April. The oncology team at Venice University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Carla is 26, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until April, 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 Venice University Hospital 5 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 $5,450 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $310
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,150
• Scans and lab work: $980
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,010
Every share and every dollar helps.

Good luck, Alberto. Shared it with a few friends.
hope things get better soon, Alberto. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this, Alberto. Wishing Carla a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in San Nicolás de los Garza donated after I showed her your page.
Stay strong, Alberto. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from São Paulo
