Nicolás's cervical cancer treatment fund

Nicolás is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Salem
In August I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My oncology team at Salem University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 54, I worked as a nurse until August, 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 Salem University Hospital 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $8,150 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,850 • Scans and lab work: $670 • Transport to Salem University Hospital: $890 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $850 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,890 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Nicolás
