Help Claudio through 4 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer
Claudio is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇹 Latina, Lazio, Italy2,548 views
Claudio was diagnosed with prostate cancer in August. The oncology team at Latina University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Claudio is 26, worked as a primary school teacher until August, 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 Latina University Hospital 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $5,450 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,950
• Transport to Latina University Hospital: $570
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $640
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,290
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending good thoughts, Lorenzo. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Claudio
It's all in the list in the story. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the big one at $2,950, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Rooting for you, Lorenzo. Your post was clear and honest. After 18 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Latina.
hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care!
