Santos
Alexandre was diagnosed with stomach cancer in January. The oncology team at Santos Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Alexandre is 55, worked as a nurse until January, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Santos Cancer Centre 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $3,250 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,100 • Scans and lab work: $240 • Transport to Santos Cancer Centre: $240 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $200 • Household costs while unable to work: $470 Thanks for being kind about this. - Simone
