Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Liliana afford treatment in Madrid
Supporting Liliana through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to Madrid Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇪🇸 Spain3,483 views
In May I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. My oncology team at Madrid Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 54, I worked as a construction supervisor until May, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Madrid Cancer Centre 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $3,450 goes:
• Transport to Madrid Cancer Centre: $390
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $290
• Household costs while unable to work: $740
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,030
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

take care, Liliana. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
keep going, Liliana. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Shreveport so I could bring a meal
