Vitória da Conquista
José was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in March. The oncology team at Vitória da Conquista Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. José is 46, worked as a farmer until March, 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 Vitória da Conquista 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,700 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,450 • Scans and lab work: $230 • Transport to Vitória da Conquista Regional Medical Center: $240 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $230 • Household costs while unable to work: $550 Thanks for being kind about this. - Kelly
