Help Raimundo through 10 rounds of treatment for stage 3 ovarian cancer

10 rounds of treatment are planned at Ribeirão Preto Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Ribeirão Preto
Raimundo was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in March. The oncology team at Ribeirão Preto Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Raimundo is 39, worked as a hairdresser until March, 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 Ribeirão Preto Regional Medical Center 3 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 $2,750 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,400 • Scans and lab work: $400 • Transport to Ribeirão Preto Regional Medical Center: $280 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $145 • Household costs while unable to work: $525 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

        Hope it all works out, José. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Ribeirão Preto.

          Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Cairo.
