Help Amanda through 12 rounds of treatment for early-stage lung cancer

Amanda is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Pelotas
Amanda was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in October. The oncology team at Pelotas Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in January. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Amanda is 41, worked as a bank teller until October, 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 Pelotas 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,450 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $210 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,800 • Household costs while unable to work: $440 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
