Help Roberto through 8 rounds of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Ciudad de México Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Ciudad de México
Roberto was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in February. The oncology team at Ciudad de México Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Roberto is 48, worked as a hairdresser until February, 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 Ciudad de México 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $800 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $140 • Household costs while unable to work: $300 • Scans and lab work: $360 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Arturo

  1. Thank you all. We're at 73% now ($587). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work.

  2. We're at 41% thanks to 8 of you. I made the first payment toward scans and lab work. More news soon.

  3. Quick update: $103 raised so far (13%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Arturo

    Wishing you peace. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Ciudad de México.

      Sending love. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Gangnam so I could bring a meal. God bless.
