Brasília
Enzo was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at Brasília University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Enzo is 39, 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 him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Brasília University Hospital 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $3,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,300 • Scans and lab work: $280 • Transport to Brasília University Hospital: $155 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115 • Household costs while unable to work: $650 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  • thinking of you, Sandra. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 10 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything

    • Wishing you peace, Sandra. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.

      • Keep going, Sandra. Get well soon. God bless
