Standing with Emilio: a rare sarcoma treatment costs
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Zapopan University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Emilio was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in August. The oncology team at Zapopan University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Emilio is 44, worked as a nurse until August, 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 Zapopan University Hospital 4 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250
• Scans and lab work: $210
• Transport to Zapopan University Hospital: $250
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $240
• Household costs while unable to work: $650
If you're reading this, thank you.
Updates from Liliana
Thank you all. We're at 5% now ($121). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.
Update from Zapopan: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 12% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
