Help Cecilia through 12 rounds of treatment for kidney cancer
Cecilia is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇵🇭 Cebu, Philippines735 views
Cecilia was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at Lapu-Lapu Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Cecilia is 45, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 Lapu-Lapu Regional Medical Center 4 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $950 goes:
• Transport to Lapu-Lapu Regional Medical Center: $65
• Scans and lab work: $300
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $585
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thanks for sharing this, Romeo. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Saint Petersburg so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Lapu-Lapu.
Wishing you the best. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 17 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending good thoughts. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 9 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Take care, Romeo. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings
