Bacoor
Fernando was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in February. The oncology team at Bacoor University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Fernando is 30, worked as a bank teller until February, 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 Bacoor 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 $1,750 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $330 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,000 • Transport to Bacoor University Hospital: $80 • Scans and lab work: $340 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Rose

Updates from Rose

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($503 in total) I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Bacoor: I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. We're at 26% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. We're at 10% thanks to 7 of you. I made the first payment toward scans and lab work. More news soon.

    Sending good thoughts, Rose. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 26 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
