Standing with Kelly: a rare sarcoma treatment costs
8 rounds of treatment are planned at São Paulo Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Kelly was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in April. The oncology team at São Paulo Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Kelly is 40, worked as a bus conductor until April, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to São Paulo Cancer Centre 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $380
• Household costs while unable to work: $400
• Transport to São Paulo Cancer Centre: $270
I hope life is good to you.

Praying for you, Lúcia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best
Looking forward to the next update. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from São Paulo
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Manchester donated after I showed her your page.
