Rodel's kidney cancer treatment fund
Supporting Rodel through kidney cancer: medication, transport to Quezon City University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇵🇭 Philippines1,873 views
Rodel was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at Quezon City University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Rodel is 48, worked as a bank teller 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 Quezon City University Hospital 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $320
• Transport to Quezon City University Hospital: $85
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $890
• Scans and lab work: $105
Every share and every dollar helps.

So sorry you're going through this, Teresita. Hope you get there. After 21 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Barranquilla.

Thinking of you, Teresita. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Quezon City.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Quezon City.
