Help Rowena through 12 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer

Rowena is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Rowena was diagnosed with stomach cancer in April. The oncology team at the Iloilo City Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Rowena is 43, worked as a primary school teacher until April, 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 the Iloilo City Oncology Institute 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $400 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $130 • Transport to the Iloilo City Oncology Institute: $75 • Scans and lab work: $195 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

  • Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Jodhpur.
