Standing with Jomar: kidney cancer treatment costs
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Lapu-Lapu Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Jomar was diagnosed with kidney cancer in July. The oncology team at Lapu-Lapu Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Jomar is 26, worked as a hairdresser until July, 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 Lapu-Lapu Cancer Centre 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 $1,300 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $510
• Scans and lab work: $300
• Transport to Lapu-Lapu Cancer Centre: $165
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $135
• Household costs while unable to work: $190
I hope life is good to you.

Keep going, Fernando. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Gondar.
Thinking of you and your family, Fernando. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 6 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
