Help Ronnie through 8 rounds of treatment for colon cancer
Ronnie is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇵🇭 Davao City, Davao del Sur, Philippines1,769 views
Ronnie was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at Davao City Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Ronnie is 40, worked as a shop owner until August, 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 Davao City 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $120
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,000
• Transport to Davao City Cancer Centre: $130
Every share and every dollar helps.
