Standing with Bruno: stomach cancer treatment costs
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Barranquilla Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In July I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at Barranquilla Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 29, I worked as a farmer until July, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Barranquilla Regional Medical Center 4 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,100 goes:
• Transport to Barranquilla Regional Medical Center: $280
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $195
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,625
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

thanks for sharing this, Bruno. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
