Daniela's colon cancer treatment fund
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Bogotá Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In July I was diagnosed with colon cancer. My oncology team at Bogotá Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 40, I worked as a construction supervisor until July, 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 Bogotá Regional Medical Center 4 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,750 goes:
• Transport to Bogotá Regional Medical Center: $240
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $155
• Household costs while unable to work: $490
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,865
With deep gratitude,
Daniela

Wishing you peace. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Praying for you, Daniela. Hope you get there. God bless.
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Bogotá
