Fighting multiple myeloma: help Leonardo afford treatment in Laredo

4 rounds of treatment are planned at Laredo Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Laredo
Leonardo was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Laredo Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Leonardo is 39, worked as a construction supervisor until August, 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 Laredo 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 $9,950 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,500 • Scans and lab work: $910 • Transport to Laredo Regional Medical Center: $1,050 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $400 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,090 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
