Maricel's prostate cancer treatment fund
Supporting Maricel through prostate cancer: medication, transport to the Manila Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇵🇭 1005, Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines1,319 views
Maricel was diagnosed with prostate cancer in June. The oncology team at the Manila Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Maricel is 36, worked as a bakery worker until June, 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 the Manila Oncology Institute 4 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 $2,400 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,600
• Scans and lab work: $270
• Transport to the Manila Oncology Institute: $105
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $80
• Household costs while unable to work: $345
Thanks for being kind about this.
