Standing with Daniel: cervical cancer treatment costs

Daniel is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Ribeirão Preto
In May I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My oncology team at Ribeirão Preto University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 54, I worked as a bank teller until May, 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 Ribeirão Preto University Hospital 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 $3,600 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,150 • Scans and lab work: $430 • Transport to Ribeirão Preto University Hospital: $290 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $210 • Household costs while unable to work: $520 With deep gratitude, Daniel

      wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Ribeirão Preto.
