Fighting colon cancer: help Ángel afford treatment in Mar del Plata
Supporting Ángel through colon cancer: medication, transport to Mar del Plata Cancer Centre, and living costs while He cannot work.
🇦🇷 Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina1,270 views
Ángel was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at Mar del Plata Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Ángel is 29, worked as a nurse until August, 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 Mar del Plata 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $750 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $220
• Transport to Mar del Plata Cancer Centre: $195
• Scans and lab work: $335
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
