Help Elena through 8 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer

Elena is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Elena was diagnosed with prostate cancer in August. The oncology team at Pasig Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Elena is 26, worked as a tailor 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 Pasig Cancer Centre 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,600 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $130 • Household costs while unable to work: $220 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • praying for you, Jomar. Get well soon. We're a small family in Regensburg but we're thinking of you

    • keep going, Jomar. Hope this works out for you. I hope October is when things finally get easier

      • Sending good thoughts, Jomar. Your post was clear and honest. After 23 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
