Fighting kidney cancer: help Irene afford treatment in Iztapalapa

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

Iztapalapa
Irene was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at the Iztapalapa Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Irene is 32, worked as a farmer until August, 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 Iztapalapa Oncology Institute 4 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050 • Scans and lab work: $270 • Household costs while unable to work: $370 • Transport to the Iztapalapa Oncology Institute: $310 If you're reading this, thank you.
