Help Anderson through 10 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer

Anderson is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Contagem
Anderson was diagnosed with prostate cancer in July. The oncology team at Contagem Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Anderson is 42, worked as a bakery worker until July, 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 Contagem 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 $2,800 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,600 • Scans and lab work: $310 • Transport to Contagem Cancer Centre: $175 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $190 • Household costs while unable to work: $525 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Sebastião

    This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Riverside but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Riverside

    • Obiageli Chiamaka Tijani

      Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. After 28 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Contagem.

      • Swapna L. Gala

        Praying for you, Sebastião. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Contagem.

        • Kagiso L. Mabaso

          Stay strong, Sebastião. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
