Help Diego through 8 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer

Diego is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Diego was diagnosed with prostate cancer in March. The oncology team at Bogotá Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Diego is 24, worked as a tailor until March, 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 Bogotá Regional Medical Center 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,700 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $850 • Scans and lab work: $380 • Transport to Bogotá Regional Medical Center: $110 • Household costs while unable to work: $360 Thank you for reading my story.

    Thinking of you and your family, Gabriel. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
