Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Teresa afford treatment in Guadalajara

Supporting Teresa through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to the Guadalajara Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.

Guadalajara
In March I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. My oncology team at the Guadalajara Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in May. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 46, I worked as a bakery worker until March, 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 the Guadalajara Oncology Institute 4 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,500 • Scans and lab work: $210 • Transport to the Guadalajara Oncology Institute: $340 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $150 • Household costs while unable to work: $350 With deep gratitude, Teresa
