Fighting stomach cancer: help Patrícia afford treatment in São Paulo
Supporting Patrícia through stomach cancer: medication, transport to São Paulo Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇧🇷 Brazil1,215 views
Patrícia was diagnosed with stomach cancer in April. The oncology team at São Paulo Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Patrícia is 50, worked as a construction supervisor 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 São Paulo Cancer Centre 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 $2,450 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050
• Scans and lab work: $550
• Transport to São Paulo Cancer Centre: $155
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $170
• Household costs while unable to work: $525
I hope life is good to you.

rooting for you, Antônio. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Berlin.
Hope things get better soon. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Blessings!
Get well soon. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Anaheim.
sending love. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of São Paulo.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Daegu
