Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Débora afford treatment in Campinas
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Campinas University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Débora was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in December. The oncology team at Campinas University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in February. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Débora is 31, worked as a bakery worker until December, 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 Campinas University Hospital 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,250 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $610
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150
• Scans and lab work: $310
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $180
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you and your family, Camila. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 19 people at work. Take care!
rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Kampala.
you're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. God bless.
so sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together.
