Help Vinícius through 10 rounds of treatment for colon cancer
Vinícius is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇧🇷 Maringá, Paraná, Brazil1,808 views
Vinícius was diagnosed with colon cancer in June. The oncology team at Maringá University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Vinícius is 34, worked as a farmer until June, 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 Maringá 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $750 goes:
• Transport to Maringá University Hospital: $230
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $240
• Scans and lab work: $280
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings!
Is transport to Maringá University Hospital the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. transport to Maringá University Hospital comes first ($230) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.

Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Bangkok this morning. Thinking of Maringá!
Take care, Beatriz. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
Thinking of you and your family, Beatriz. Hope the doctors have good news. All the best.

Best of luck, Beatriz. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Maringá.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in Manchester donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Manchester.
I hope things turn around soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Maringá.
