Mateo's stomach cancer treatment fund
Supporting Mateo through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Riverside Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇺🇸 California, United States5,354 views
In May I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at Riverside Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 27, I worked as a farmer until May, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Riverside Cancer Centre 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $3,500 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,100
• Transport to Riverside Cancer Centre: $650
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $750
Thank you so much.

Praying for you, Mateo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
Best of luck, Mateo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Wishing you the best, Mateo. Hope you get there. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Blessings
so sorry you're going through this, Mateo. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Thủ Đức.
Good luck. Hope you get there. Thinking of Riverside.
