Esteban's kidney cancer treatment fund
Supporting Esteban through kidney cancer: medication, transport to the Iztapalapa Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇲🇽 Iztapalapa, Ciudad de México, Mexico3,120 views
Esteban was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at the Iztapalapa Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Esteban is 35, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 the Iztapalapa Oncology Institute 5 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $3,250 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,950
• Scans and lab work: $350
• Transport to the Iztapalapa Oncology Institute: $220
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $195
• Household costs while unable to work: $535
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
