Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Diego afford treatment in Iztapalapa
Supporting Diego through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to Iztapalapa Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇲🇽 Mexico1,903 views
Diego was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in November. The oncology team at Iztapalapa Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Diego is 51, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until November, 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 Iztapalapa Cancer Centre 2 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 $4,200 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,800
• Scans and lab work: $440
• Transport to Iztapalapa Cancer Centre: $380
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $270
• Household costs while unable to work: $310

Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Londrina
is there anything that isn't money that would help Diego?
So sorry you're going through this, Laura. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
Keep going. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours
So sorry you're going through this. Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Auckland.
sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 21 people at work
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. I hope March is when things finally get easier.
