Uberlândia
Vanessa was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in May. The oncology team at the Uberlândia Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Vanessa is 26, worked as a shop owner 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 the Uberlândia Oncology Institute 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,250 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,500 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $190 • Scans and lab work: $220 • Household costs while unable to work: $340 Thank you so much.
