Paloma's multiple myeloma treatment fund
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Veracruz University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇲🇽 Veracruz, Mexico815 views
Paloma was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in April. The oncology team at Veracruz University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Paloma is 26, worked as a bus conductor until April, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Veracruz University Hospital 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $3,300 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $500
• Transport to Veracruz University Hospital: $220
• Household costs while unable to work: $520
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,060
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope you get there. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Keep going, Víctor. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless
Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Thika this morning. Love from Thika

Thanks for sharing this, Víctor. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Víctor. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Shubra.
So sorry you're going through this, Víctor. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Veracruz.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Kathmandu so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Birmingham.
