Bogotá
Ignacio was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in August. The oncology team at Bogotá Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Ignacio is 51, worked as a taxi driver until August, 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 Bogotá Cancer Centre 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $3,200 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,050 • Scans and lab work: $440 • Transport to Bogotá Cancer Centre: $260 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $130 • Household costs while unable to work: $320 Thanks for reading all this. - Alejandro

    Wishing you peace, Alejandro. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 23 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Shinjuku!

            praying for you. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
