Fighting non-Hodgkin lymphoma: help Elena afford treatment in Rosario

Elena is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Rosario
In October I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Rosario Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in December. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 40, I worked as a taxi driver until October, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Rosario Regional Medical Center 4 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,200 • Transport to Rosario Regional Medical Center: $105 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $195 If you're reading this, thank you.
