Fighting colon cancer: help Sebastián afford treatment in Barcelona
Supporting Sebastián through colon cancer: medication, transport to Barcelona Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇪🇸 Catalonia, Spain6,410 views
Sebastián was diagnosed with colon cancer in April. The oncology team at Barcelona Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Sebastián is 52, worked as a construction supervisor until April, 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 Barcelona Regional Medical Center 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $6,150 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,200
• Scans and lab work: $1,050
• Transport to Barcelona Regional Medical Center: $540
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $420
• Household costs while unable to work: $940
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
