Albany
Mateo was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at Albany Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Mateo is 53, worked as a bus conductor 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 Albany Regional Medical Center 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $10,600 goes: โ€ข Transport to Albany Regional Medical Center: $670 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $480 โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,500 โ€ข Scans and lab work: $950 Glad we found this place.
