Itzel's thyroid cancer treatment fund

Itzel was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at Tehuacán University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Itzel is 49, worked as a bakery worker until August, 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 Tehuacán 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 $1,300 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $195 • Household costs while unable to work: $520 • Transport to Tehuacán University Hospital: $145 • Scans and lab work: $440 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
