Rodrigo's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund

10 rounds of treatment are planned at Las Cruces Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Las Cruces
Rodrigo was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in June. The oncology team at Las Cruces Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Rodrigo is 48, worked as a tailor until June, 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 Las Cruces Cancer Centre 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $4,300 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,650 • Scans and lab work: $1,550 • Transport to Las Cruces Cancer Centre: $1,100 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
