Help Priscila through 10 rounds of treatment for kidney cancer

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

Campinas
Priscila was diagnosed with kidney cancer in January. The oncology team at Campinas Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Priscila is 37, worked as a shop owner until January, 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 Campinas Cancer Centre 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $3,450 goes: • Transport to Campinas Cancer Centre: $150 • Scans and lab work: $460 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,500 • Household costs while unable to work: $340 Glad we found this place. - Débora

    So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
