Graciela's colon cancer treatment fund
Supporting Graciela through colon cancer: medication, transport to the Oaxaca de Juárez Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
Anywhere in the world3,791 views
Graciela was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at the Oaxaca de Juárez Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Graciela is 44, worked as a nurse 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 the Oaxaca de Juárez Oncology Institute 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,550 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250
• Scans and lab work: $500
• Transport to the Oaxaca de Juárez Oncology Institute: $145
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $170
• Household costs while unable to work: $485
Thank you so much.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Oaxaca de Juárez.
Thank you. If you're in Oaxaca de Juárez I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Best of luck, Miguel. Hope the doctors have good news
Sending love, Miguel. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Jimma.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Oaxaca de Juárez.
So sorry you're going through this, Miguel. Get well soon
Stay strong, Miguel. I hope things turn around soon.
