Simone's acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment fund
Supporting Simone through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to São Paulo Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇧🇷 Brazil2,098 views
Simone was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August. The oncology team at São Paulo Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Simone is 40, worked as a primary school teacher until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to São Paulo 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,650 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,500
• Scans and lab work: $240
• Transport to São Paulo Cancer Centre: $310
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $260
• Household costs while unable to work: $340
Thanks for being kind about this.

you're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of São Paulo.
Praying for you, Fernando. Wishing Simone a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Sending love, Fernando. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
