Standing with Simone: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
Simone is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇧🇷 Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil802 views
Simone was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in May. The oncology team at Porto Alegre University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Simone is 52, worked as a hairdresser until May, 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 Porto Alegre University Hospital 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $900 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $370
• Scans and lab work: $240
• Transport to Porto Alegre University Hospital: $290
Thank you for reading my story.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Epe but we're thinking of you. Love from Epe.
