Supporting Inés through colon cancer: medication, transport to Mendoza Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.

Inés was diagnosed with colon cancer in January. The oncology team at Mendoza Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Inés is 39, worked as a taxi driver until January, 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 Mendoza 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,200 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $210 • Scans and lab work: $450 • Transport to Mendoza Cancer Centre: $185 • Household costs while unable to work: $355 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
