Makati
Carlo was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in June. The oncology team at Makati University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Carlo is 46, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until June, 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 Makati University Hospital 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,050 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,400 • Scans and lab work: $290 • Household costs while unable to work: $360 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Remedios

    sending strength, Remedios. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Wudil donated after I showed her your page.

    • Araceli R. UrbinaQuestion

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Carlo

      • Remedios S. ValdezOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

        The list at the bottom is the whole picture. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the biggest at $1,400. Good question.

    • Haile Yohannes Abate

      it takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best

      • Denis Alexei Kuzmin

        You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Joliet.

        • Brian Paul Opio

          hope it all works out, Remedios. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Warangal this morning. All the best.
