Jose's non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
Supporting Jose through non-Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Makati Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
Anywhere in the world2,225 views
Jose was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in April. The oncology team at Makati Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Jose is 30, worked as a bus conductor 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 Makati Cancer Centre 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 $1,850 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,300
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $160
• Scans and lab work: $290
• Transport to Makati Cancer Centre: $100
If you're reading this, thank you.
Updates from Rhea
Quick update: $640 raised so far (35%). the plan for scans and lab work is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Sending love, Rhea. Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Bornova so I could bring a meal.
Praying for you, Rhea. Wishing Jose a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Please keep us posted.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Blessings!
