Gabriela's cervical cancer treatment fund

10 rounds of treatment are planned at Palmira Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Palmira
Gabriela was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at Palmira Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Gabriela is 37, worked as a bus conductor until August, 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 Palmira 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,650 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $240 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $970 • Scans and lab work: $440 If you're reading this, thank you. - Ángel
