Irene was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at Alcalá de Henares Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Irene is 30, worked as a hairdresser 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 Alcalá de Henares Cancer Centre 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,250 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $380 • Scans and lab work: $1,100 • Transport to Alcalá de Henares Cancer Centre: $770 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Mauricio

  1. Update from Alcalá de Henares: the plan for scans and lab work is now scheduled. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Quick update: $158 raised so far (7%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
