Fighting kidney cancer: help Sebastián afford treatment in Barcelona

Sebastián is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Barcelona
Sebastián was diagnosed with kidney cancer in June. The oncology team at Barcelona Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Sebastián is 26, 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 him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Barcelona Cancer Centre 2 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $7,950 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,500 • Scans and lab work: $630 • Transport to Barcelona Cancer Centre: $550 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $530 • Household costs while unable to work: $740 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Lorenzo
