Isabela's cervical cancer treatment fund
Isabela is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇧🇷 Brazil2,851 views
Isabela was diagnosed with cervical cancer in January. The oncology team at Juazeiro do Norte Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Isabela is 35, worked as a construction supervisor until January, 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 Juazeiro do Norte Regional Medical Center 3 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $620
• Scans and lab work: $470
• Transport to Juazeiro do Norte Regional Medical Center: $125
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $235
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
