Standing with Paulo: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs

6 rounds of treatment are planned at the Guarulhos Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Guarulhos
Paulo was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in September. The oncology team at the Guarulhos Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Paulo is 43, worked as a tailor 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 the Guarulhos Oncology Institute 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 $2,200 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $900 • Scans and lab work: $400 • Transport to the Guarulhos Oncology Institute: $300 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $300 • Household costs while unable to work: $300 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Priscila
