Leonardo's cervical cancer treatment fund
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Belo Horizonte University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Leonardo was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at Belo Horizonte University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Leonardo is 24, 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 him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Belo Horizonte University Hospital 2 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,700 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,550
• Scans and lab work: $360
• Transport to Belo Horizonte University Hospital: $280
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $240
• Household costs while unable to work: $270
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending good thoughts, Edilene. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 21 people at work
thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Ikeja donated after I showed her your page.
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from George
Stay strong, Edilene. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
