Why this matters: For Puerto Rican households and communities, the campaign to support Laura Hernández highlights the challenges of accessing specialized medical care, particularly for those who may not have the means to afford treatment abroad.

Puerto Rican communicator Laura Hernández has been diagnosed with stage 3 cancer and is preparing to travel to Germany for specialized treatment. Friends, family, and entertainment figures have joined the 'Todos por Laura' campaign to raise $180,000 for four cycles of treatment, each costing approximately $45,000. The treatment will include specialized care, medication, transportation, accommodation, and medical follow-up over the next 90 days.

Hernández has identified a clinic in Germany where she will begin treatment soon. The campaign has been supported by artists and friends, including Alexandra Fuentes, JoeAlis Filippetti, Father Orlando Lugo, and Doctor Guillermo Colón, who have invited their followers to contribute to the initiative. Donations can be made through GoFundMe, PayPal, and ATH Móvil.
