Cebu City
Jomar was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in September. The oncology team at Cebu City Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Jomar is 36, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until September, 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 Cebu City 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,950 goes: โ€ข Scans and lab work: $165 โ€ข Household costs while unable to work: $135 โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,550 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100 Thanks for reading all this. - Angelica

Updates from Angelica

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 75% funded and I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.

  2. 65% there. the first invoice got paid this week. Thank you.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($483 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
