São Paulo
Aparecida was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at São Paulo Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Aparecida is 47, worked as a shop owner until August, 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 São Paulo Cancer Centre 5 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 $900 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $195 • Transport to São Paulo Cancer Centre: $310 • Household costs while unable to work: $395 Thank you so much.
