Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Patricia afford treatment in San Fernando

Patricia is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

San Fernando
Patricia was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in July. The oncology team at the San Fernando Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Patricia is 30, worked as a hairdresser until July, 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 the San Fernando Oncology Institute 4 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 $1,700 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100 • Scans and lab work: $155 • Transport to the San Fernando Oncology Institute: $165 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $125 • Household costs while unable to work: $155 If you're reading this, thank you. - Gilbert
