João's non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Ribeirão Preto Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇧🇷 Brazil4,075 views
João was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in November. The oncology team at Ribeirão Preto Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
João is 57, worked as a bank teller until November, 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 Ribeirão Preto 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $3,050 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $165
• Household costs while unable to work: $460
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,425
If you're reading this, thank you.
