Turin

Giovanni was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at the Turin Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Giovanni is 31, worked as a primary school teacher until July, 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 the Turin Oncology Institute 2 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $6,850 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,600 • Scans and lab work: $750 • Transport to the Turin Oncology Institute: $480 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $330 • Household costs while unable to work: $690 Thanks for being kind about this. - Anna

Updates from Anna

Good news. Because of your gifts ($93 in total) I made the first payment toward nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Anna
Thank you all. We're at 1% now ($68). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward scans and lab work.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($58 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
