Carlos was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Tarragona Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Carlos is 58, worked as a taxi driver until August, 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 Tarragona Cancer Centre 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 $7,150 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,250 • Transport to Tarragona Cancer Centre: $640 • Scans and lab work: $1,050 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,210 Thank you for reading my story.
