Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Jimena afford treatment in Coyoacán

12 rounds of treatment are planned at the Coyoacán Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Coyoacán
Jimena was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in June. The oncology team at the Coyoacán Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Jimena is 24, worked as a primary school teacher until June, 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 the Coyoacán Oncology Institute 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 $1,400 goes: • Transport to the Coyoacán Oncology Institute: $250 • Household costs while unable to work: $740 • Scans and lab work: $410 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  • Bithi Mitu MollaQuestion

    Is transport to the Coyoacán Oncology Institute the biggest cost or is there more coming?

    • Alejandro K. GuzmánOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. transport to the Coyoacán Oncology Institute comes first ($250) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.

        Thanks for sharing this, Alejandro. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Lagos so I could bring a meal.

        • Amira Ines Trabelsi

          Stay strong, Alejandro. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!
