Fighting multiple myeloma: help Manuel afford treatment in Hialeah

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

Hialeah
Manuel was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Hialeah University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Manuel is 53, worked as a bus conductor 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 Hialeah University Hospital 3 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 $3,350 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,950 • Transport to Hialeah University Hospital: $630 • Scans and lab work: $770 With deep gratitude, Fernanda
