Help Heloísa through 6 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer
Heloísa is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Heloísa was diagnosed with prostate cancer in June. The oncology team at Juiz de Fora Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Heloísa is 50, worked as a shop owner until June, 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 Juiz de Fora Regional Medical Center 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $650 goes:
• Transport to Juiz de Fora Regional Medical Center: $250
• Scans and lab work: $175
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $225
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
