Updated October 16, 2014: On September 30, I wrote A Prayer for Guadalupe, a post about our friend Lupita who was diagnosed with breast cancer and is being treated in Oaxaca. She is a widow with three children. Her resources are limited and a group of us have come together to for a fundraising effort to raise enough money for her to cover out-of-pocket expenses. We expect they will be substantial, since Lupita’s income depends on weaving and house cleaning, which she cannot do right now.
So far, we have collectively raised $3,211. The cost of the surgeon was $1,350, which was paid out of this effort, and there will be expenses for chemotherapy coming up.
Thanks to all who have contributed. It means so much. Will YOU add your name to this list?
