Help Massimo through 12 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer

Massimo is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Massimo was diagnosed with stomach cancer in September. The oncology team at Bergamo Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Massimo is 28, worked as a bus conductor until September, 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 Bergamo 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $8,600 goes: • Scans and lab work: $1,300 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,500 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,800 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Lucia

      • Thinking of you and your family, Lucia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
