Carmen's multiple myeloma treatment fund
Carmen is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇲🇽 Mexico2,443 views
Carmen was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in May. The oncology team at Guadalupe Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Carmen is 39, 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 Guadalupe Regional Medical Center 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $4,500 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,850
• Scans and lab work: $510
• Transport to Guadalupe Regional Medical Center: $350
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $220
• Household costs while unable to work: $570
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Keep going. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Jessore.
Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Mapo.
Sending love, Hugo. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Cebu City
