Help Ronnie through 4 rounds of treatment for a rare sarcoma
4 rounds of treatment are planned at the Dasmariñas Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Ronnie was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in September. The oncology team at the Dasmariñas Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Ronnie is 27, worked as a shop owner until September, 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 the Dasmariñas Oncology Institute 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,100 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $280
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,450
• Household costs while unable to work: $370
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thanks for sharing this, Herman. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care
Take care, Herman. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Pune!
Thinking of you, Herman. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
