Help Pedro through 8 rounds of treatment for kidney cancer

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

Pedro was diagnosed with kidney cancer in July. The oncology team at Caloocan Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Pedro is 47, worked as a tailor 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 Caloocan Regional Medical Center 5 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 $550 goes: • Transport to Caloocan Regional Medical Center: $170 • Household costs while unable to work: $320 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Herman

  • Good luck. Get well soon. After 25 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything

    • Hope things get better soon. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Sacramento

      • Thinking of you, Herman. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Chennai.

        • Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Yekaterinburg.

          • Rooting for you, Herman. Your post was clear and honest.
