Santiago's prostate cancer treatment fund
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Bogotá University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇨🇴 Bogotá, Bogotá D.C., Colombia992 views
Santiago was diagnosed with prostate cancer in October. The oncology team at Bogotá University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Santiago is 35, worked as a shop owner until October, 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 Bogotá University Hospital 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 $3,250 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $510
• Scans and lab work: $190
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,300
• Transport to Bogotá University Hospital: $250
Thank you for reading my story.

Keep going. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
so sorry you're going through this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Dallas.
wishing you peace. Hope you get there. Love from Bandung.
Thinking of you and your family, Juan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
