Fighting Hodgkin lymphoma: help Wilfredo afford treatment in San Diego
4 rounds of treatment are planned at San Diego Regional Medical Center; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.
🇺🇸 San Diego, California, United States1,792 views
In May I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at San Diego Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 32, I worked as a nurse until May, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to San Diego Regional Medical Center 4 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $10,050 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $540
• Scans and lab work: $660
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,250
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,600
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thanks for sharing this, Wilfredo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of San Diego.
Thanks for sharing this, Wilfredo. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Stockholm but we're thinking of you. Thinking of San Diego.
Sending love, Wilfredo. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Leipzig
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Southampton this morning
