Leonardo's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund
Supporting Leonardo through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to the Tlaquepaque Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇲🇽 Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, Mexico1,475 views
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.

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.

Sending good thoughts, Rodrigo. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Thinking of you, Rodrigo. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
