Help Gonzalo through 12 rounds of treatment for stage 2 breast cancer
Supporting Gonzalo through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to Yonkers Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇺🇸 Yonkers, New York, United States7,023 views
Gonzalo was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in March. The oncology team at Yonkers Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Gonzalo is 33, worked as a hairdresser 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 Yonkers 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $7,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,550
• Scans and lab work: $1,250
• Transport to Yonkers Cancer Centre: $710
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $330
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,160
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
