Help José through 12 rounds of treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma
Supporting José through Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to the Feira de Santana Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇧🇷 Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil1,354 views
José was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at the Feira de Santana Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
José is 29, 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 the Feira de Santana Oncology Institute 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 $1,000 goes:
• Transport to the Feira de Santana Oncology Institute: $260
• Household costs while unable to work: $410
• Scans and lab work: $330
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Best of luck, Amanda. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
So sorry you're going through this, Amanda. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
wishing you peace, Amanda. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
