Help Samuel through 10 rounds of treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma

Samuel is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Campinas
Samuel was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at Campinas Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Samuel is 44, worked as a bakery worker until July, 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 Campinas 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 $800 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $300 • Scans and lab work: $270 • Transport to Campinas Cancer Centre: $230 Thanks for reading all this. - Isabela
