Regina's thyroid cancer treatment fund

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

Regina was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in April. The oncology team at Tlaquepaque University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Regina is 45, worked as a primary school teacher 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 Tlaquepaque 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150 • Scans and lab work: $400 • Transport to Tlaquepaque University Hospital: $290 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $210 • Household costs while unable to work: $300 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

                                  Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 29 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
