Fighting thyroid cancer: help Liza afford treatment in Davao City

Supporting Liza through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to Davao City Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.

Davao City
Liza was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in July. The oncology team at Davao City Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Liza is 38, worked as a farmer 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 Davao City Regional Medical Center 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,250 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65 • Household costs while unable to work: $320 • Scans and lab work: $200 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,665 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
