Raquel's multiple myeloma treatment fund
Raquel is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Wishing you peace, Francisco. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 16 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Raquel.
Sure. The biggest one is nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team, $260. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.
Hang in there, Francisco. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Toronto donated after I showed her your page.
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Hyderabad.
Good luck, Francisco. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Buenos Aires.
