Sofía's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund

Sofían is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Sofía was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in November. The oncology team at Puebla University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in February. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Sofían is 42, worked as a tailor until November, 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 Puebla 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 $2,500 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $125 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,600 • Household costs while unable to work: $775 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Guadalupe

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sofía

      Wishing Sofía a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Nagpur so I could bring a meal.

                      best of luck. Wishing Sofía a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 6 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
