Help Rosa through 12 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma
Rosa is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇹 Rome, Lazio, Italy1,876 views
Rosa was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in May. The oncology team at Rome Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Rosa is 34, worked as a shop owner until May, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Rome 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $7,050 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,350
• Scans and lab work: $1,050
• Transport to Rome Regional Medical Center: $820
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $540
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,290

Good luck, Riccardo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Lagos this morning. All the best.
Thinking of you, Riccardo. Wishing Rosa a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings.
Hang in there, Riccardo. This could happen to any of us. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
Thinking of you and your family, Riccardo. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 6 people at work. God bless
