Leonardo was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in May. The oncology team at the Tlaquepaque Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Leonardo is 47, worked as a bank teller until May, 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 Tlaquepaque Oncology Institute 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 $1,150 goes: • Transport to the Tlaquepaque Oncology Institute: $210 • Household costs while unable to work: $580 • Scans and lab work: $360 Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Rodrigo

  1. 65% there. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.

  2. Update from Tlaquepaque: I made the first payment toward transport to the Tlaquepaque Oncology Institute. We're at 35% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
