Santiago's stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment fund
Supporting Santiago through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to San Jose Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇺🇸 San Jose, California, United States3,716 views
Santiago was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in August. The oncology team at San Jose Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Santiago is 50, 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 San Jose Cancer Centre 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 $9,750 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $1,350
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $400
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,000
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
