Fighting thyroid cancer: help Kevin afford treatment in Quezon City
Kevin is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇵🇭 Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines801 views
In August I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at Quezon City Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 25, I worked as a hairdresser until August, 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 Quezon City Cancer Centre 3 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 $500 goes:
• Transport to Quezon City Cancer Centre: $95
• Household costs while unable to work: $180
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65
• Scans and lab work: $160
Thank you for reading my story.
