Brasília
Fernando was diagnosed with kidney cancer in January. The oncology team at Brasília Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Fernando is 55, worked as a shop owner until January, 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 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,450 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,000 • Transport to Brasília Regional Medical Center: $210 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $240 I hope life is good to you. - Jéssica
