Belo Horizonte
Márcio was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in April. The oncology team at Belo Horizonte Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Márcio is 50, worked as a bus conductor until April, 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 Belo Horizonte 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 $2,000 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $155 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,400 • Scans and lab work: $220 • Transport to Belo Horizonte Cancer Centre: $225 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

  • Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. I hope July is when things finally get easier

    • So sorry you're going through this, Manuela. Shared this with my family. After 20 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Belo Horizonte!
