Fighting stomach cancer: help Pablo afford treatment in Cali
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Cali University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇨🇴 Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia1,608 views
Pablo was diagnosed with stomach cancer in January. The oncology team at Cali University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Pablo is 31, worked as a bakery worker until January, 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 Cali University Hospital 4 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 $950 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $260
• Household costs while unable to work: $350
• Transport to Cali University Hospital: $220
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120
Thank you so much.
