Nicole was diagnosed with stomach cancer in May. The oncology team at Quezon City Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Nicole is 48, worked as a bus conductor 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 Quezon City Regional Medical Center 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $280
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050
• Transport to Quezon City Regional Medical Center: $200
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $170
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

wishing you peace, Divina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Quezon City.
Hang in there, Divina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 30 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care
You're not alone, Divina. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 8 people at work. Thinking of Quezon City.
Wishing you the best, Divina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Jakarta this morning.
Hang in there, Divina. Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Caloocan so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Take care. Wishing Nicole a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best
Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Quezon City.
You're not alone, Divina. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
