Help Rolando through 12 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer

Supporting Rolando through prostate cancer: medication, transport to Manila University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.

Manila
Rolando was diagnosed with prostate cancer in July. The oncology team at Manila University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Rolando is 29, worked as a taxi driver 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 Manila University Hospital 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 $2,100 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,500 • Scans and lab work: $150 • Transport to Manila University Hospital: $175 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70 • Household costs while unable to work: $205 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Fe

    Sending love, Fe. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Odesa but we're thinking of you. God bless.
