Standing with Gustavo: multiple myeloma treatment costs

Supporting Gustavo through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Ciudad de México University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.

Ciudad de México
Gustavo was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in July. The oncology team at Ciudad de México University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Gustavo is 36, worked as a taxi driver until July, 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 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 $3,750 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,500 • Scans and lab work: $370 • Transport to Ciudad de México University Hospital: $180 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $260 • Household costs while unable to work: $440 With deep gratitude, Sofía

Updates from Sofía

  1. Update from Ciudad de México: I made the first payment toward chemotherapy and medication not covered. We're at 6% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    You're not alone, Sofía. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
