Nicolás's prostate cancer treatment fund

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

Puebla
Nicolás was diagnosed with prostate cancer in January. The oncology team at the Puebla Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Nicolás is 29, worked as a primary school teacher until January, 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 Puebla Oncology Institute 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 $2,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,300 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $260 • Scans and lab work: $440 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - María
