Raimundo's colon cancer treatment fund
8 rounds of treatment are planned at the Juazeiro do Norte Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Raimundo was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at the Juazeiro do Norte Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Raimundo is 35, worked as a tailor 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 the Juazeiro do Norte 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,450 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,600
• Transport to the Juazeiro do Norte Oncology Institute: $230
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $290
• Household costs while unable to work: $330
Thank you so much.

Take care, Isabela. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Sheffield.
stay strong, Isabela. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Phoenix
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the doctors have good news. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Isabela. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Juazeiro do Norte.
Take care. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
sending love, Isabela. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from San Francisco.
good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
Best of luck, Isabela. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Faisalabad donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Faisalabad
Hang in there, Isabela. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
Take care. Get well soon. Please keep us posted
