Julián's thyroid cancer treatment fund

Julián is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Palmira
Julián was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at the Palmira Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Julián is 51, worked as a bus conductor 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 the Palmira Oncology Institute 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 $1,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250 • Scans and lab work: $130 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120 With deep gratitude, Gabriela
