Perla's stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment fund
Perla is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇵🇭 Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines1,497 views
In November I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at Makati Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in February. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 26, I worked as a hairdresser until November, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Makati Cancer Centre 4 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150
• Transport to Makati Cancer Centre: $145
• Household costs while unable to work: $205
Glad we found this place.

Sending love, Perla. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Wellington.
Sending love, Perla. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Kassel!
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Makati
You're not alone, Perla. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
