Help Pietro through 6 rounds of treatment for stage 3 ovarian cancer
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Latina University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Pietro was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in July. The oncology team at Latina University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Pietro is 52, 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 him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Latina University Hospital 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $540
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $650
• Transport to Latina University Hospital: $460
With deep gratitude,
Viola

Best of luck, Viola. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Bakersfield this morning.
