Standing with Cláudio: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Guarulhos University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇧🇷 Guarulhos, São Paulo, Brazil2,430 views
Cláudio was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in November. The oncology team at Guarulhos University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in February. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Cláudio is 38, worked as a bakery worker until November, 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 Guarulhos 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $630
• Scans and lab work: $240
• Transport to Guarulhos University Hospital: $230
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Keep going, Gustavo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
good luck, Gustavo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes!
Hope it all works out, Gustavo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Birmingham.
