Help Rose through 6 rounds of treatment for kidney cancer
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Makati University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Rose was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at Makati University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Rose is 38, worked as a construction supervisor until August, 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 Makati University Hospital 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Transport to Makati University Hospital: $170
• Scans and lab work: $160
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,300
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70
If you're reading this, thank you.

So sorry you're going through this, Josefina. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Port Harcourt.
Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
Hang in there, Josefina. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
