Help Lorena through 10 rounds of treatment for early-stage lung cancer
10 rounds of treatment are planned at San Sebastián Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Lorena was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in September. The oncology team at San Sebastián Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Lorena is 38, worked as a farmer until September, 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 San Sebastián 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $8,750 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,000
• Scans and lab work: $1,000
• Transport to San Sebastián Cancer Centre: $820
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $230
• Household costs while unable to work: $700
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Stay strong, Nicolás. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of San Sebastián
So sorry you're going through this, Nicolás. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 10 people at work. Love from Rotterdam.
Rooting for you, Nicolás. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Tokyo so I could bring a meal.
