Help Natalia through 10 rounds of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Supporting Natalia through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to Ciudad de México University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.

Ciudad de México
Natalia was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in June. The oncology team at Ciudad de México University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Natalia is 47, worked as a construction supervisor 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 Ciudad de México University Hospital 5 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 $2,400 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,400 • Scans and lab work: $260 • Transport to Ciudad de México University Hospital: $290 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110 • Household costs while unable to work: $340 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
