Mariana's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Niterói Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Mariana was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in July. The oncology team at Niterói Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Mariana is 31, worked as a farmer until July, 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 Niterói Regional Medical Center 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 $3,050 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,150
• Scans and lab work: $250
• Household costs while unable to work: $650
With deep gratitude,
Sandra
Updates from Sandra
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,762 in total) I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Rooting for you, Sandra. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Gangnam
Sending good thoughts, Sandra. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Hang in there, Sandra. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Leipzig this morning. Blessings.
Hang in there, Sandra. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
