Fighting multiple myeloma: help Lorena afford treatment in Buenos Aires
Supporting Lorena through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Buenos Aires University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
🇦🇷 Argentina1,623 views
Lorena was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in November. The oncology team at Buenos Aires University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in February. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Lorena is 56, worked as a bakery worker until November, 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 Buenos Aires University Hospital 5 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,000 goes:
• Transport to Buenos Aires University Hospital: $260
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,300
• Scans and lab work: $340
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100
With deep gratitude,
Amparo
