Help Natalia through 4 rounds of treatment for colon cancer
Supporting Natalia through colon cancer: medication, transport to the Medellín Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
Anywhere in the world1,079 views
Natalia was diagnosed with colon cancer in January. The oncology team at the Medellín Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in March. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Natalia is 33, worked as a primary school teacher until January, 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 the Medellín Oncology Institute 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 $2,300 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $250
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,700
• Transport to the Medellín Oncology Institute: $230
Every share and every dollar helps.

sending good thoughts, Jorge. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Natalia
Praying for you, Jorge. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
