Monterrey
Daniel was diagnosed with stomach cancer in January. The oncology team at Monterrey University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Daniel is 56, worked as a construction supervisor until January, 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 Monterrey 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 $2,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,350 • Scans and lab work: $300 • Transport to Monterrey University Hospital: $380 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $165 • Household costs while unable to work: $305 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Ana

Updates from Ana

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($449 in total) I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($334 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Small update. $99 so far, the plan for scans and lab work is now scheduled.
