Fighting multiple myeloma: help Emilio afford treatment in Coatzacoalcos

Emilio is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Coatzacoalcos
Emilio was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in July. The oncology team at Coatzacoalcos Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Emilio is 36, worked as a taxi driver until July, 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 Coatzacoalcos Regional Medical Center 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 $2,200 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $860 • Scans and lab work: $530 • Transport to Coatzacoalcos Regional Medical Center: $145 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $290 • Household costs while unable to work: $375 If you're reading this, thank you.
