Standing with Paolo: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs

Paolo was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in December. The oncology team at Manila Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in February. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Paolo is 47, worked as a bakery worker until December, 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 Manila Cancer Centre 5 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 $2,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250 • Scans and lab work: $115 • Transport to Manila Cancer Centre: $145 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70 • Household costs while unable to work: $420 Every share and every dollar helps.
