Standing with Ximena: kidney cancer treatment costs
Supporting Ximena through kidney cancer: medication, transport to Miami Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She cannot work.
🇺🇸 United States1,082 views
Ximena was diagnosed with kidney cancer in March. The oncology team at Miami Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Ximena is 46, worked as a construction supervisor until March, 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 Miami Regional Medical Center 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $13,300 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,500
• Scans and lab work: $1,650
• Transport to Miami Regional Medical Center: $1,050
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $500
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,600
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you peace, Jaxon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
What's already covered and what's the $13,300 for?
Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $8,500 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
Keep going, Jaxon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
You're not alone, Jaxon. Wishing Ximena a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. I hope June is when things finally get easier. God bless
I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Miami.
