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.
🇲🇽 96016, Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico1,648 views
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.

hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Pasig!
Wishing Emilio a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Colombo
