Help Daniela through 6 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer
Daniela is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇧🇷 Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil1,533 views
Daniela was diagnosed with stomach cancer in March. The oncology team at Rio de Janeiro Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Daniela is 48, worked as a tailor until March, 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 Rio de Janeiro 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 $1,150 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $165
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $130
• Transport to Rio de Janeiro Regional Medical Center: $260
• Household costs while unable to work: $595
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you peace. Wishing Daniela a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
any update on how things are going in Rio de Janeiro?
Rooting for you, Amanda. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings.
