Help Ximena through 6 rounds of treatment for kidney cancer

Supporting Ximena through kidney cancer: medication, transport to Los Angeles University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.

Ximena was diagnosed with kidney cancer in November. The oncology team at Los Angeles University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in February. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Ximena is 56, worked as a bank teller until November, 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 Los Angeles 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $8,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,100 • Transport to Los Angeles University Hospital: $800 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,350 • Scans and lab work: $1,100 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
