Help Edilene through 10 rounds of treatment for early-stage lung cancer
Edilene is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇧🇷 Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil812 views
Edilene was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at the Campinas Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Edilene is 29, worked as a bakery worker 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 the Campinas Oncology Institute 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $700 goes:
• Transport to the Campinas Oncology Institute: $230
• Household costs while unable to work: $250
• Scans and lab work: $220
If you're reading this, thank you.

Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in London but we're thinking of you.
Keep going, Flávio. Get well soon.
Rooting for you, Flávio. Wishing Edilene a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
