Help Yolanda through 6 rounds of treatment for colon cancer
6 rounds of treatment are planned at San Diego Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇺🇸 San Diego, California, United States4,924 views
Yolanda was diagnosed with colon cancer in June. The oncology team at San Diego Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Yolanda is 25, worked as a tailor 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 San Diego Regional Medical Center 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $5,500 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,200
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $820
• Scans and lab work: $1,480
With deep gratitude,
Susana

thinking of you, Susana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Guadalajara donated after I showed her your page.
