Where the money goes

Radical transparency: every euro, documented.

Every euro raised is assigned to a concrete line item and documented here. This is the full breakdown of what the money can go to, in whatever order is needed.

What the rebiopsy costs

The centrepiece of the campaign is a single bone biopsy: everything current science allows is extracted from it today, and the rest is preserved so it can be analysed for 10+ years. Its cost splits into two blocks.

Analyse now

≈ €15,000–35,000

Broad sequencing, expression, functional proteomics, single-cell and organoids on the freshly obtained tissue.

Preserve and bank

≈ €10,000–25,000

Frozen, OCT and live tissue properly stored for new analyses as science advances.

One procedure, not several: each preserved format avoids having to biopsy again in the future.

Indicative figures, under review with the labs. Final amounts will be published in the monthly expense report.

The first goal's €40,000 covers the first stage; the full range is funded in phases.

The money raised covers, in whatever order is needed:

  • Medical and care expenses related to the case.
  • Diagnostic, follow-up and re-evaluation tests.
  • Consultations with specialists and second opinions.
  • Medication and treatments not fully or partially covered.
  • Medical supplies and health support products.
  • Travel, accommodation and meals tied to medical visits.
  • AI tools used to analyze the case. This is currently the main expense: all the work is supported by AI.
  • Processing, management and clinical documentation costs.
  • Outreach, communication and campaign support.
  • Professional support for organizing the crowdfunding.
  • Platform fees, payment gateways and administrative costs.
  • Any other medical, care or logistical need arising from the case.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know the money goes to this?

Every euro is assigned to one of the line items above and will be documented in a monthly expense report we'll publish on this very page. Nothing is diverted outside the case.

What if more is raised than expected?

Funds follow the order of priorities: first the rebiopsy and treatment, then monitoring and the analyses the tumour comes to require. Any surplus is kept intact for the case's future medical needs.

Is donating safe? Is there a receipt?

Yes. Donations are processed through GoFundMe with secure payment, and you can request a receipt by getting in touch.

Can I help without donating money?

Absolutely. Sharing the site with the right people —oncology, research or patients— can be as decisive as a donation. See all the ways to help.
