Fighting non-Hodgkin lymphoma: help Verónica afford treatment in Alcalá de Henares
Verónica is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

In July I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Alcalá de Henares Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 52, I worked as a shop owner until July, 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 Alcalá de Henares Cancer Centre 5 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 $5,150 goes:
• Transport to Alcalá de Henares Cancer Centre: $710
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,150
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $290
Thanks for reading all this.

Keep going, Verónica. I hope things turn around soon. All the best
Thinking of you and your family. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from San Diego.
you're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Verónica. Wishing Verónica a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care.
