Guadalajara
Juan was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in July. The oncology team at Guadalajara Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Juan is 57, worked as a taxi driver until July, 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 Guadalajara Cancer Centre 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,750 goes: • Transport to Guadalajara Cancer Centre: $260 • Scans and lab work: $440 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Andrés
