Help Maria through 4 rounds of treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma

Maria is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Campinas
Maria was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Campinas Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Maria is 24, worked as a bus conductor 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 Campinas Cancer Centre 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $3,400 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,950 • Scans and lab work: $400 • Transport to Campinas Cancer Centre: $290 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $170 • Household costs while unable to work: $590 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

    Thinking of you, Antônia. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Campinas.

    • Victor Pangilinan

      Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. Love from Dhaka.

        sending strength. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.

        • Víctor G. Rangel

          Wishing you peace, Antônia. Get well soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless!

          • Adriana Natália Xavier
