4 rounds of treatment are planned at the San Sebastián Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Miguel was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at the San Sebastián Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Miguel is 44, worked as a tailor 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 the San Sebastián Oncology Institute 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 $5,750 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,200
• Scans and lab work: $580
• Transport to the San Sebastián Oncology Institute: $420
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $200
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,350

Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of San Sebastián
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of San Sebastián.
I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Winnipeg donated after I showed her your page.
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 30 people at work. All the best.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of San Sebastián.
Stay strong, Ignacio. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of San Sebastián!
