Fighting kidney cancer: help Mercedes afford treatment in Móstoles
Supporting Mercedes through kidney cancer: medication, transport to Móstoles Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She cannot work.
Anywhere in the world6,213 views
Mercedes was diagnosed with kidney cancer in June. The oncology team at Móstoles Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Mercedes is 56, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 Móstoles Regional Medical Center 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $8,500 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,750
• Scans and lab work: $580
• Transport to Móstoles Regional Medical Center: $380
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $470
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,320

praying for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Barcelona but we're thinking of you. All the best.
