Claudia was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August. The oncology team at the Bogotá Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Claudia is 34, worked as a bakery worker 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 Bogotá 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 $1,650 goes: • Transport to the Bogotá Oncology Institute: $310 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $740 • Household costs while unable to work: $290 • Scans and lab work: $310 Thanks for reading all this.

      Wishing you the best. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
