Fighting thyroid cancer: help Raúl afford treatment in La Plata
Supporting Raúl through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to La Plata University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇦🇷 Argentina846 views
Raúl was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in June. The oncology team at La Plata University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Raúl is 44, worked as a bakery worker until June, 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 La Plata University Hospital 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,850 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $740
• Scans and lab work: $220
• Transport to La Plata University Hospital: $100
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $170
• Household costs while unable to work: $620
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
