Standing with Manuela: a rare sarcoma treatment costs

Supporting Manuela through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to Pelotas University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.

Pelotas
Manuela was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in February. The oncology team at Pelotas University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Manuela is 24, worked as a construction supervisor until February, 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 Pelotas University Hospital 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $3,050 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,750 • Scans and lab work: $230 • Transport to Pelotas University Hospital: $230 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $180 • Household costs while unable to work: $660 Thanks for being kind about this.
