Toledo
Esteban was diagnosed with kidney cancer in September. The oncology team at Toledo Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Esteban is 41, worked as a farmer until September, 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 Toledo 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 $5,200 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,400 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,100 • Scans and lab work: $700 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Daniela

Updates from Daniela

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,990 in total) I made the first payment toward scans and lab work. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,947 in total) I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
