Fighting thyroid cancer: help Jericho afford treatment in Bacoor
Jericho is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇵🇭 Bacoor, Cavite, Philippines758 views
In July I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at Bacoor Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 38, I worked as a farmer until July, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Bacoor Cancer Centre 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $600 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $125
• Household costs while unable to work: $420
• Transport to Bacoor Cancer Centre: $55
Thank you so much.

Sending strength, Jericho. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Best of luck, Jericho. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Bahir Dar.
