Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Giuseppe afford treatment in Catania
Supporting Giuseppe through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to the Catania Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
Anywhere in the world5,481 views
Giuseppe was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in December. The oncology team at the Catania Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Giuseppe is 36, worked as a farmer until December, 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 the Catania Oncology Institute 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $9,700 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,500
• Scans and lab work: $780
• Transport to the Catania Oncology Institute: $660
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $560
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,200
Glad we found this place.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Giuseppe?
Thank you. If you're in Catania I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Hang in there. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!
Best of luck, Emma. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Bahir Dar this morning. Love from Bahir Dar.
Stay strong, Emma. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
What's already covered and what's the $9,700 for?
Wishing you peace, Emma. Hope you get there!
Thanks for sharing this, Emma. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Naivasha so I could bring a meal.
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. After 12 years in engineering I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Greetings from Bang Khen.
keep going, Emma. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Birmingham this morning. Blessings!
Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
