Lorena's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Caruaru Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇧🇷 Brazil918 views
Lorena was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in January. The oncology team at Caruaru Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Lorena is 34, worked as a bakery worker until January, 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 Caruaru Regional Medical Center 3 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 $1,850 goes:
• Transport to Caruaru Regional Medical Center: $320
• Household costs while unable to work: $320
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,210
Thanks for reading all this.

keep going, Amanda. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Sending good thoughts, Amanda. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Caruaru.
Hope it all works out, Amanda. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Love from Rosario.
Is transport to Caruaru Regional Medical Center the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Transport to Caruaru Regional Medical Center is $320 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
Sending strength, Amanda. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side
Hope it all works out. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from São Paulo
thinking of you and your family. Wishing Lorena a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope May is when things finally get easier.
Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Thane.
thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care!
your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Jakarta Selatan
Hang in there. Wishing Lorena a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Medellín so I could bring a meal
best of luck, Amanda. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
hang in there, Amanda. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
