Fighting Hodgkin lymphoma: help Manuel afford treatment in Medellín

Manuel was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in March. The oncology team at Medellín Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Manuel is 34, worked as a construction supervisor until March, 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 Medellín Cancer Centre 3 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 $1,950 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $730 • Scans and lab work: $340 • Transport to Medellín Cancer Centre: $160 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115 • Household costs while unable to work: $605 Glad we found this place. - Gabriel
