Eduardo's non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Ciudad de México Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In August I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Ciudad de México Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 43, I worked as a primary school teacher 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 Ciudad de México Regional Medical Center 3 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 $2,800 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,650
• Scans and lab work: $200
• Transport to Ciudad de México Regional Medical Center: $210
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $195
• Household costs while unable to work: $545
I hope life is good to you.
- Eduardo

Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Onitsha.
Take care. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Ciudad de México
Sending strength, Eduardo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Kathmandu!
Praying for you, Eduardo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. Thinking of Ciudad de México
Good luck, Eduardo. Shared it with a few friends
Wishing you the best, Eduardo. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
praying for you. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Thinking of you, Eduardo. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
