Geovanna Aurora Cruz Rodríguez, 35, is one of the adults who has been harmed by the lack of medicines in government dependency health centers, for which he has seen the need to “dump” and thus achieve money for your cancer treatment medicine.
The woman walks through the streets, avenues and crossroads of the Veracruz-Boca del Río-Medellín de Bravo metropolitan area, cardboard in hand, in order to obtain resources to buy her medicine
With the motivation and accompaniment of her three children, the mother has been walking for days, standing at different points of great influx to attract the attention of passers-by and ask from the bottom of her heart for a coin to collect 49,400 pesos.
He said that he has been treated at the High Specialty Hospital of Veracruz (HAEV) for several months and regretted that in recent weeks there has been a shortage of medicines that put his health at risk since his cancer is in the third stage and could worsen of not arriving the medicines.
“They have suspended my treatment. It was my turn since June 16 but there is no medicine. I need the Trantuzumab that costs more than 40 thousand pesos. It is a chemo vaccine that they have to give me every month because it strengthens the immune system because people who suffer from cancer do not have enough defenses and are vulnerable to bacteria. But there is none and they do not have a date of when it will arrive ”, he stated.
He said that although he is asking people for support, some money to collect and buy the vaccine because he fears for his health, “we are going to July and I will be two and there is no when, the mothers of children with cancer have mobilized and they have not responded either, “he added.

“There is even stage 6 (serious) and I am in the middle. Everything was going well because I had my treatment on time, but now everything can get complicated and we know that the cancer returns in a more aggressive way, which can cause death, “he said.
For people who want to support, he makes available the BBVA card number 4152313735234499 which is his name. The telephone number 2299192364.
