Caxias do Sul
Ronaldo was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in March. The oncology team at Caxias do Sul Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Ronaldo is 42, worked as a primary school teacher 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 Caxias do Sul Regional Medical Center 2 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 $3,450 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,900 • Scans and lab work: $350 • Transport to Caxias do Sul Regional Medical Center: $290 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $260 • Household costs while unable to work: $650 If you're reading this, thank you.

  • Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Colombo so I could bring a meal. Blessings

    • I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care!
