Standing with Emilio: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs
Supporting Emilio through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to Coyoacán Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇲🇽 Mexico1,810 views
Emilio was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in June. The oncology team at Coyoacán Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Emilio is 26, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until June, 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 Coyoacán Regional Medical Center 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 $3,850 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,600
• Scans and lab work: $330
• Transport to Coyoacán Regional Medical Center: $230
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115
• Household costs while unable to work: $575
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Coyoacán
You're not alone, Nicolás. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Coyoacán.
Thinking of you, Nicolás. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
