Riccardo was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in August. The oncology team at Rome Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Riccardo is 47, worked as a primary school teacher 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 Rome Regional Medical Center 3 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 $6,550 goes: โ€ข Household costs while unable to work: $1,200 โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,000 โ€ข Transport to Rome Regional Medical Center: $570 โ€ข Scans and lab work: $780 If you're reading this, thank you. - Barbara
