Standing with Leo: multiple myeloma treatment costs
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Iloilo City Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇵🇭 Iloilo City, Iloilo, Philippines781 views
Leo was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in June. The oncology team at Iloilo City Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Leo is 32, worked as a primary school teacher until June, 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 Iloilo City Regional Medical Center 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:
• Transport to Iloilo City Regional Medical Center: $170
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85
• Household costs while unable to work: $240
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $805
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending good thoughts. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from New Delhi.
