Fighting colon cancer: help Tomás afford treatment in Madrid
Supporting Tomás through colon cancer: medication, transport to Madrid Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
Anywhere in the world5,246 views
Tomás was diagnosed with colon cancer in November. The oncology team at Madrid Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in January. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Tomás is 35, worked as a taxi driver until November, 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 Madrid 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $6,050 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $630
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $220
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,500
• Transport to Madrid Regional Medical Center: $700
Every share and every dollar helps.

Best of luck, Armando. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Love from Entebbe.
