Help Paulo through 12 rounds of treatment for kidney cancer
Supporting Paulo through kidney cancer: medication, transport to Caruaru Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇧🇷 Caruaru, Pernambuco, Brazil2,440 views
Paulo was diagnosed with kidney cancer in July. The oncology team at Caruaru Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Paulo is 30, worked as a farmer until July, 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 Caruaru 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $3,350 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,300
• Scans and lab work: $410
• Transport to Caruaru Cancer Centre: $145
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $200
• Household costs while unable to work: $295
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Caruaru
Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Jakarta.
Keep going, Mariana. Get well soon. We're a small family in Mecca but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Sending strength, Mariana. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Caruaru.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Kilkenny.
