Standing with Filippo: multiple myeloma treatment costs
Filippo is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Filippo was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at the Latina Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Filippo is 40, worked as a bus conductor until August, 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 Latina Oncology Institute 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $8,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,800
• Scans and lab work: $1,200
• Transport to the Latina Oncology Institute: $610
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $420
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,070
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

keep going, Mattia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Latina.
Praying for you, Mattia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 21 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Latina
