Standing with Raimundo: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Campinas Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Raimundo was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at Campinas Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Raimundo is 56, worked as a tailor until August, 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 Campinas Regional Medical Center 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $3,150 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $230
• Transport to Campinas Regional Medical Center: $290
• Household costs while unable to work: $710
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,920

Sending good thoughts, Eduardo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Keep going, Eduardo. Hope this works out for you. All the best.
