A small contribution can help save Julia's life! 

Julia is my nephew's mother-in-law. They live in Havana, Cuba, where challenging living conditions are a reality on a daily basis.

In April, shortly after she retired, 62-year-old Julia began experiencing pain and swelling in her left breast.

The results of her biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of invasive carcinoma affecting her left breast and lymph nodes.

She started chemotherapy immediately and is currently responding well after her third round of treatment. Following her eighth round of chemotherapy, she is scheduled to undergo surgery.

This is where she needs our assistance:

In Cuba, medical supplies are scarce, and the medication required for her final three rounds of chemotherapy is not available within the public, state-funded healthcare system.

Her family, who work within the healthcare system, have managed to source the additional medication that their mother desperately needs, but they lack the financial means to purchase it.

Here's the math:

The average monthly salary for a doctor in Cuba is approximately $50 (Julia's daughter is a gastroentorologist)
Each vial of medication costs $250 USD (around $350 CAD).
We need to find a way to secure the three vials of medicine she requires, totaling $1,050.

Please help us support Julia by providing the medication she needs to give her the best chance in her fight against this dreadful disease!
