Samuel's stomach cancer treatment fund
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Cebu City Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇵🇭 Cebu, Philippines1,435 views
In June I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at Cebu City Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 58, I worked as a construction supervisor until June, 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 Cebu City Cancer Centre 2 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 $500 goes:
• Transport to Cebu City Cancer Centre: $100
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95
• Scans and lab work: $305
Every share and every dollar helps.
