José's stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment fund

José is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

José was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in July. The oncology team at Ciudad de México Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. José is 33, worked as a bakery worker until July, 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 Ciudad de México Cancer Centre 2 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,850 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $155 • Transport to Ciudad de México Cancer Centre: $270 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,425 Thank you for reading my story. - Gabriela

          Keep going, Gabriela. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

            Thinking of you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

                Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Ciudad de México

                  rooting for you, Gabriela. It takes guts to ask. Well done
