Help Vinícius through 10 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer
Supporting Vinícius through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Santarém Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇧🇷 Brazil1,921 views
Vinícius was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August. The oncology team at Santarém Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Vinícius is 42, 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 him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Santarém Regional Medical Center 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,700 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $290
• Household costs while unable to work: $590
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,450
• Transport to Santarém Regional Medical Center: $370
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Santarém.
Hope it all works out, Márcio. Hope you get there.
Rooting for you, Márcio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Sending strength, Márcio. Hope you get there. Sent it to 21 people at work. Greetings from Campinas.
Sending good thoughts, Márcio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope things get better soon, Márcio. Hope you get there
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Colorado Springs.
