Help Ximena through 8 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer
8 rounds of treatment are planned at the Puebla Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇲🇽 Mexico1,450 views
Ximena was diagnosed with prostate cancer in July. The oncology team at the Puebla Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Ximena is 35, worked as a shop owner until July, 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 Puebla Oncology Institute 4 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 $3,250 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $140
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,900
• Scans and lab work: $540
• Household costs while unable to work: $670
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
