Update on Milagritos

Some of you may remember this post from April, discussing the Patient Assistance Fund. One example of a patient who has been helped by this fund is Milagritos, a 14 year old girl with cancer.

A few months later, Milagritos' condition is better, but not yet stabilized. She recently had some tests that indicated that the cancer was present, but decreased. She is losing her hair, but is eating better. Yesterday she started her fourth round of chemotherapy. She will continue with the chemotherapy until Saturday. After this round of chemo concludes, she will need a CT scan to determine whether or not more chemo is needed. This is an expensive procedure in Peru, costing about 2,200 soles. Our Patient Assistance Fund exists exactly for expenses of this nature. If you would like to donate to this fund, checks can be sent to the address below. Please keep Milagritos and her family in your prayers as they go through this trying time.
