Adrián's a rare sarcoma treatment fund
Adrián is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇺🇸 Rockford, Illinois, United States2,147 views
In August I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at Rockford University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 53, I worked as a bus conductor until August, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Rockford University Hospital 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $6,200 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $430
• Scans and lab work: $1,350
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,420
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Keep going, Adrián. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care
Thinking of you and your family, Adrián. 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.
Hope it all works out, Adrián. Wishing Adrián a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from St. Petersburg.
