Help Josefina through 12 rounds of treatment for cervical cancer
Josefina is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Josefina was diagnosed with cervical cancer in July. The oncology team at Angeles Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Josefina is 26, worked as a construction supervisor until July, 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 Angeles Regional Medical Center 2 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 $2,200 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,550
• Scans and lab work: $240
• Transport to Angeles Regional Medical Center: $155
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95
• Household costs while unable to work: $160
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
