Standing with Wellington: prostate cancer treatment costs
Supporting Wellington through prostate cancer: medication, transport to São Paulo University Hospital, and living costs while He cannot work.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil2,814 views
Wellington was diagnosed with prostate cancer in June. The oncology team at São Paulo University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Wellington is 40, worked as a shop owner until June, 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 São Paulo 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $3,400 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $440
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,860
Thank you for reading my story.
