Standing with Miguel: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs

6 rounds of treatment are planned at Medellín University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Miguel was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at Medellín University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Miguel is 39, worked as a bakery worker 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 Medellín University Hospital 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 $1,050 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $510 • Transport to Medellín University Hospital: $320 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $220 With deep gratitude, Soledad

Updates from Soledad

  1. Quick update: $270 raised so far (26%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($135 in total) the plan for transport to Medellín University Hospital is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
