León
José was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in June. The oncology team at León University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. José is 42, worked as a bank teller until June, 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 León University Hospital 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,600 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,250 • Transport to León University Hospital: $230 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

            can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near León!

              Thank you. If you're in León I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.

            So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Hialeah so I could bring a meal.
