Carmen's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund
Carmen is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇨🇴 Colombia1,653 views
Carmen was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at Cartagena Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Carmen is 51, worked as a bakery worker until August, 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 Cartagena Regional Medical Center 4 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 $1,450 goes:
• Transport to Cartagena Regional Medical Center: $125
• Household costs while unable to work: $380
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $945
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you, Gabriela. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings.

Rooting for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Cartagena
So sorry you're going through this, Gabriela. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
Wishing you peace, Gabriela. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
