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

Stefania was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in July. The oncology team at Brescia University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Stefania is 52, worked as a bank teller until July, 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 Brescia University Hospital 3 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 $2,000 goes:
• Transport to Brescia University Hospital: $320
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $360
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,320
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

So sorry you're going through this, Lorenzo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Bogotá.
Sending good thoughts. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Kakamega donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
