Standing with Fábio: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs
Supporting Fábio through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to the Juiz de Fora Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇧🇷 Brazil2,880 views
Fábio was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in December. The oncology team at the Juiz de Fora Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Fábio is 43, worked as a tailor until December, 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 Juiz de Fora 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 $3,450 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $340
• Transport to the Juiz de Fora Oncology Institute: $155
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $240
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,715
Glad we found this place.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. Thinking of Juiz de Fora.
gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Tampa so I could bring a meal. All the best
Wishing you peace. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 30 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Love from Lagos
Stay strong, Caio. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Juiz de Fora.
keep going. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
