Meet Maria.
Maria is a housekeeper in Loreto and the sole provider for her family. Recently, she discovered a suspicious breast lump. To get the care she needs, Maria must travel 5–6 hours by bus or private car to La Paz—again and again.

Her journey looks like this:

Biopsy
Follow-up to discuss results
Mastectomy (every woman here with breast cancer undergoes one)
Radiation or chemotherapy—requiring dozens of trips

On average, a cancer patient like Maria will travel 26 times in the first year of diagnosis. Each visit means 1–2 nights away from home, eating out, and transportation—about $75 minimum per trip. More than that, Maria loses at least two days of wages each time, and as the only income for her family, no one pays her when she misses work.

Wouldn’t you want a companion by your side if you were facing this? Many patients must go alone. Your donation could allow them to bring a “cancer buddy” for loving support.

If you are willing to give the amount you would normally spend on one special-occasion meal in the U.S. or Canada, you can help Maria—and cancer patients like her—afford 2-3 trips to La Paz.
