Ximena's prostate cancer treatment fund
8 rounds of treatment are planned at the Buenos Aires Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Ximena was diagnosed with prostate cancer in August. The oncology team at the Buenos Aires Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Ximena is 40, worked as a farmer until August, 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 the Buenos Aires Oncology Institute 4 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 $1,200 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $460
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $135
• Household costs while unable to work: $440
• Transport to the Buenos Aires Oncology Institute: $165
I hope life is good to you.
