Help José through 4 rounds of treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma

Supporting José through Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Caruaru Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.

Caruaru
José was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in November. The oncology team at Caruaru Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in January. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. José is 56, worked as a nurse until November, 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 Caruaru Cancer Centre 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,050 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $480 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115 • Scans and lab work: $455 If you're reading this, thank you.

          Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Caruaru

                  you're not alone, Davi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
