Help Jose through 6 rounds of treatment for early-stage lung cancer
Supporting Jose through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to the Cebu City Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.

Jose was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in October. The oncology team at the Cebu City Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Jose is 26, worked as a farmer until October, 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 Cebu City Oncology Institute 5 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 $1,600 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $390
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $990
• Scans and lab work: $220
Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Los Angeles
I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Corpus Christi.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Cebu City
Take care, Kevin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
you're not alone, Kevin. Hope you get there.
