Help Mercy through 8 rounds of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Supporting Mercy through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to Davao City Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇵🇭 Davao City, Davao del Sur, Philippines2,833 views
Mercy was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in July. The oncology team at Davao City Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Mercy is 32, worked as a primary school teacher until July, 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 Davao City Cancer Centre 3 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,300 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,350
• Scans and lab work: $240
• Transport to Davao City Cancer Centre: $190
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120
• Household costs while unable to work: $400
I hope life is good to you.

64% there. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($644 in total) the plan for scans and lab work is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Looking forward to the next update. Love from Ann Arbor!
Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. After 20 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.
Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Kinondoni
take care, Herman. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together.
