Standing with Giuseppe: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
Supporting Giuseppe through non-Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Lecce Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇮🇹 73108, Lecce, Puglia, Italy6,423 views
In July I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Lecce Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 25, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital until July, 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 Lecce Regional Medical Center 4 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 $6,350 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,100
• Scans and lab work: $500
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,750
Thanks for reading all this.

take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Lecce.
How is Giuseppe doing now?
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 8 people at work. Blessings.
keep going. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Sending good thoughts, Giuseppe. Shared this with my family. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Hialeah.
