Gabriel was diagnosed with colon cancer in November. The oncology team at Madrid Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Gabriel is 42, worked as a nurse until November, 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 Madrid Regional Medical Center 5 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 $1,950 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $870 • Scans and lab work: $890 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $190 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Armando
