Valentina's stomach cancer treatment fund
Supporting Valentina through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Ribeirão Preto Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
Anywhere in the world2,151 views
Valentina was diagnosed with stomach cancer in May. The oncology team at Ribeirão Preto Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Valentina is 28, worked as a bus conductor 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 Ribeirão Preto Cancer Centre 2 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,900 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $960
• Household costs while unable to work: $580
• Transport to Ribeirão Preto Cancer Centre: $360
Thank you for reading my story.

Any update on how things are going in Ribeirão Preto?
Sending strength, Fabiana. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Take care.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Valentina?
Thank you. If you're in Ribeirão Preto I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings
so sorry you're going through this, Fabiana. Shared this with my family
hope it all works out, Fabiana. Wishing Valentina a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Fabiana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless
