Help Emiliano through 4 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer
Emiliano is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇲🇽 Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico537 views
Emiliano was diagnosed with prostate cancer in April. The oncology team at Tijuana Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Emiliano is 37, worked as a taxi driver until April, 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 Tijuana Cancer Centre 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,650 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $280
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,950
• Household costs while unable to work: $420
Every share and every dollar helps.
