Raúl's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
Supporting Raúl through Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Barranquilla Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇨🇴 Atlántico, Colombia706 views
Raúl was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in January. The oncology team at Barranquilla Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Raúl is 45, worked as a bank teller 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 Barranquilla Regional Medical Center 3 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 $2,200 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $440
• Transport to Barranquilla Regional Medical Center: $140
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,450
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $170
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Moscow.
Wishing you the best, Citlali. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Barranquilla
Thanks for sharing this, Citlali. Hope you get there. Greetings from Soweto.
hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. Love from Kinondoni.
You're not alone, Citlali. I hope things turn around soon.
Praying for you. Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Barranquilla.
Hope things get better soon, Citlali. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
