Madrid
Adriana was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in May. The oncology team at Madrid University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Adriana is 30, worked as a taxi driver until May, 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 Madrid University Hospital 5 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 $8,300 goes: • Transport to Madrid University Hospital: $680 • Scans and lab work: $1,150 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,000 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $470 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Arturo

            • Is transport to Madrid University Hospital the biggest cost or is there more coming?

                Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. transport to Madrid University Hospital comes first ($680) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
