Kristine was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August. The oncology team at Cebu City University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Kristine is 47, worked as a taxi driver until August, 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 Cebu City University Hospital 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,100 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,450 • Scans and lab work: $210 • Transport to Cebu City University Hospital: $115 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100 • Household costs while unable to work: $225 Every share and every dollar helps. - Juan

    Hope things get better soon, Juan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless

    • Sending good thoughts, Juan. Hope this works out for you.
