Bergamo
Samuele was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in April. The oncology team at Bergamo Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Samuele is 49, worked as a bakery worker until April, 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 Bergamo Cancer Centre 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,800 goes: • Scans and lab work: $570 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $450 • Transport to Bergamo Cancer Centre: $360 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,420 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Rosa

        shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Angeles so I could bring a meal. Love from Zaporizhzhia.
