Standing with Alejandra: multiple myeloma treatment costs

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Vigo University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Alejandra was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Vigo University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Alejandra is 36, worked as a farmer until August, 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 Vigo University Hospital 5 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 $4,350 goes: • Transport to Vigo University Hospital: $710 • Scans and lab work: $1,000 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,200 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $440 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Jorge

    Rooting for you, Jorge. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
