Help Michelle through 4 rounds of treatment for kidney cancer
Supporting Michelle through kidney cancer: medication, transport to Caloocan Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇵🇭 Philippines2,181 views
Michelle was diagnosed with kidney cancer in May. The oncology team at Caloocan Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Michelle is 38, worked as a bank teller until May, 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 Caloocan 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $140
• Transport to Caloocan Cancer Centre: $210
Glad we found this place.

Best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!
good luck. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Lahore.
best of luck, Kevin. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Caloocan.
Stay strong, Kevin. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you. All the best.
