Fighting colon cancer: help Amparo afford treatment in Raleigh

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Raleigh Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Amparo was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at Raleigh Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Amparo is 32, worked as a construction supervisor until August, 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 Raleigh Cancer Centre 5 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 $12,300 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,000 • Scans and lab work: $670 • Transport to Raleigh Cancer Centre: $600 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $740 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,290 Glad we found this place. - Juan
