Ximena's stomach cancer treatment fund
Supporting Ximena through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Palmira Cancer Centre, and living costs while She cannot work.
Anywhere in the world5,357 views
Ximena was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August. The oncology team at Palmira Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Ximena is 33, worked as a bank teller 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 Palmira Cancer Centre 2 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 $2,900 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,400
• Household costs while unable to work: $230
• Transport to Palmira Cancer Centre: $270
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
