Jimena's colon cancer treatment fund
Supporting Jimena through colon cancer: medication, transport to the Bucaramanga Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
Anywhere in the world4,826 views
Jimena was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at the Bucaramanga Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Jimena is 49, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 the Bucaramanga Oncology Institute 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 $2,550 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $620
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $220
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,710
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

You're not alone, Eduardo. Hope the doctors have good news. All the best.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Bucaramanga!
Thank you. If you're in Bucaramanga I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
