Jose's stomach cancer treatment fund
Jose is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇵🇭 Santa Rosa, Laguna, Philippines976 views
In September I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at Santa Rosa Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in January. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 28, I worked as a farmer until September, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Santa Rosa Cancer Centre 4 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $700
• Scans and lab work: $320
• Transport to Santa Rosa Cancer Centre: $105
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95
• Household costs while unable to work: $380
Glad we found this place.
