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.

Makati
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.
