Help Julieta through 8 rounds of treatment for kidney cancer
Supporting Julieta through kidney cancer: medication, transport to Pittsburgh Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇺🇸 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States7,006 views
Julieta was diagnosed with kidney cancer in June. The oncology team at Pittsburgh Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Julieta is 49, 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 her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Pittsburgh Cancer Centre 3 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $12,450 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,150
• Transport to Pittsburgh Cancer Centre: $840
• Scans and lab work: $1,700
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,760
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this, Gabriela. Your post was clear and honest. After 20 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Juiz de Fora.
thanks for sharing this, Gabriela. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Dallas
What exactly is the $12,450 for?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. household costs while unable to work comes first ($1,150) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
hope the doctors have good news. Love from Ciudad de México.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Niterói but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Pittsburgh
You're not alone, Gabriela. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
