Help with Chemotherapy & Medical Costs

Hi everyone, My name is Carmen - I am a current 4th year medical student who created this gofundme to help my family raise money to pay for my brother's cancer treatment. He lives in Mexico and has been battling this for a while now. We funded his initial treatment as a collective family, out of pocket which has been very difficult given the pandemic causing a decrease in my mother's work hours. Unfortunately, after he finished his initial treatment, the scans showed a metastasis of the cancer. The doctors would like to do 2 other rounds of chemo, followed by radiation which has an estimated cost of about 80-90,000 pesos (4,500-5,000 dollars). I have helped my family as much as I can, but as a student with very little income, I have exhausted my funds. As many of you know, in Mexico the medical bills are paid out of pocket for everything because government insurance is so scarce. My brother has 2 young children and is under 40 years old, so we would like to give him every chance he can get to survive. Any financial help you can provide is greatly appreciated!

For those of you who know me personally or through social media (@carmenseradoctora), you know I like to keep personal things private, but this is a financial battle that I could not take on my own at this point in my life. I am so grateful for the beautiful community I have created online and thank you for always cheering me on virtually.

With gratitude,

Carmen
