Help Julián through 8 rounds of treatment for a rare sarcoma

Julián is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Julián was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in August. The oncology team at Ciudad de México Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Julián is 51, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until August, 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 Ciudad de México 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $870 • Scans and lab work: $320 • Transport to Ciudad de México Cancer Centre: $360 Thanks for reading all this.
