Fighting non-Hodgkin lymphoma: help Josefa afford treatment in Coyoacán

Supporting Josefa through non-Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Coyoacán Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.

Coyoacán
Josefa was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in September. The oncology team at Coyoacán Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Josefa is 33, worked as a hairdresser until September, 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 Coyoacán Cancer Centre 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $3,400 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,100 • Scans and lab work: $210 • Transport to Coyoacán Cancer Centre: $310 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120 • Household costs while unable to work: $660 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Fernando
