Kathleen's multiple myeloma treatment fund
Supporting Kathleen through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Davao City University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
🇵🇭 Davao City, Davao del Sur, PhilippinesPosted Oct 1, 20262,493 views
Kathleen was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Davao City University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Kathleen is 44, worked as a hairdresser until August, 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 Davao City University Hospital 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,800 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050
• Scans and lab work: $115
• Transport to Davao City University Hospital: $175
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110
• Household costs while unable to work: $350
With deep gratitude,
Ismael

A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Davao del Sur. I'll ask around and let you know.
how is Kathleen doing now?
Hang in there, Ismael. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Kathleen?
Thank you. If you're in Davao City I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Praying for you, Ismael. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Leicester.
Stay strong, Ismael. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Addis Ababa.
Take care. Hope the doctors have good news. God bless.
wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
