Hello friends donors,
We continue working so that children and adolescents with cancer do not postpone or cancel their treatments due to lack of financial means for their transport.
We have about 10 or 11 new diagnoses, all of them also requiring economic support for transportation, on the other hand patients from this city (Coatzacoalcos) are going to other cities for radiotherapy, or other treatments, or studies, for example those who have some type of tumor generally, all these trips are expensive and are by bus to cities such as Veracruz, Xalapa, and Cordoba in Veracruz as well as in Mexico City (CDMX).
At least 40% of all patients who do not live in the city of Coatzacoalcos are first transported by community transport that are not buses until they reach an location where they can take a bus to our city, other patients are sometimes transported between communities in taxi being more expensive, those trips between communities are sometimes up to 6 hours so they leave their homes for a day before, because that transport only has one exit to the day.
While buses depart several times a day to our city, Coatzacoalcos
At least 80-85% of parents of community patients work as farmers
We pay them the entire trip including those inter community sections.We have generally given support for patients from approximately 50 locations.
We thank as always infinitely our donors who have the kindness to know about our project and donate, we have been working since 2012 and we hope to continue thanks to your support.
