Standing with Fernando: colon cancer treatment costs

10 rounds of treatment are planned at Ciudad de México University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Ciudad de México
Fernando was diagnosed with colon cancer in June. The oncology team at Ciudad de México University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Fernando is 33, worked as a construction supervisor 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 Ciudad de México University Hospital 2 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 $2,650 goes: • Transport to Ciudad de México University Hospital: $310 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,800 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115 • Household costs while unable to work: $425 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Regina

  1. Update from Ciudad de México: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 2% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 1% now ($38). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.
