Standing with Isabel: a rare sarcoma treatment costs
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Oaxaca de Juárez Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Isabel was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in July. The oncology team at Oaxaca de Juárez Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Isabel is 58, worked as a hairdresser until July, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Oaxaca de Juárez 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $480
• Household costs while unable to work: $530
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90
Thank you for reading my story.
