Jimena's stage 2 breast cancer treatment fund

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Los Angeles University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Jimena was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in August. The oncology team at Los Angeles University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Jimena is 44, worked as a farmer 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 Los Angeles 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,450 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $700 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,400 • Transport to Los Angeles University Hospital: $350 Thank you so much. - Emiliano

        Sending love, Emiliano. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Parma

          So sorry you're going through this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
