Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Rodrigo afford treatment in Houston

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

Rodrigo was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in June. The oncology team at Houston Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Rodrigo is 28, worked as a bakery worker until June, 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 Houston Regional Medical Center 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 $10,200 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,600 • Scans and lab work: $600 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,000 Thank you so much. - Jorge
