Standing with Valentina: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs

Valentina is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Guarulhos
Valentina was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August. The oncology team at Guarulhos Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Valentina is 40, 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 her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Guarulhos 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $3,000 goes: • Scans and lab work: $480 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,100 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $190 • Household costs while unable to work: $230 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Ingrid

        Keep going, Ingrid. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Gliwice so I could bring a meal.
