Mauricio's stage 2 breast cancer treatment fund
Supporting Mauricio through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to the Buenos Aires Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇦🇷 Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina3,752 views
Mauricio was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in July. The oncology team at the Buenos Aires Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Mauricio is 30, worked as a bakery worker 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 the Buenos Aires 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,700 goes:
• Transport to the Buenos Aires Oncology Institute: $100
• Household costs while unable to work: $340
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,900
• Scans and lab work: $360
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Wishing you the best, Alberto. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Wishing you peace, Alberto. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Is transport to the Buenos Aires Oncology Institute the biggest cost or is there more coming?
It's all in the list in the story. transport to the Buenos Aires Oncology Institute is the big one at $100, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
Thinking of you, Alberto. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Wishing Mauricio a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Howrah.
Sending good thoughts, Alberto. Wishing Mauricio a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Buenos Aires.
Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Best of luck, Alberto. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
