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

Emilio was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Ciudad de México University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Emilio is 36, worked as a construction supervisor until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Ciudad de México University Hospital 3 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $3,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,350
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105
• Transport to Ciudad de México University Hospital: $340
• Scans and lab work: $205
Thanks for being kind about this.

hope things get better soon, Francisco. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, Francisco. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Manchester so I could bring a meal.
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Boston.
thinking of you and your family. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
So sorry you're going through this, Francisco. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Cardiff.
Sending strength, Francisco. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
