Standing with Anderson: a rare sarcoma treatment costs

Anderson is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

São Paulo
Anderson was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in February. The oncology team at the São Paulo Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Anderson is 28, worked as a farmer until February, 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 São Paulo Oncology Institute 2 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,450 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,900 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $185 • Transport to the São Paulo Oncology Institute: $365 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Take care, Márcio. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

    • Merel Lotte Timmermans

      Good luck, Márcio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best

      • Clement Dennis Yeboah

        You're not alone, Márcio. Wishing Anderson a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
