Fighting prostate cancer: help Roberto afford treatment in Guadalupe
Supporting Roberto through prostate cancer: medication, transport to Guadalupe Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇲🇽 Mexico1,946 views
Roberto was diagnosed with prostate cancer in November. The oncology team at Guadalupe Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in January. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Roberto is 37, worked as a construction supervisor until November, 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 Guadalupe Cancer Centre 2 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $3,550 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,200
• Scans and lab work: $240
• Transport to Guadalupe Cancer Centre: $270
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $190
• Household costs while unable to work: $650
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending strength, María. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours
Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 38 people at work. Thinking of Guadalupe.
Take care. Wishing Roberto a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care.
sending good thoughts, María. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
Good luck, María. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Rooting for you. Wishing Roberto a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Çankaya.
