Aarav's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
Aarav is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 Rohini, Delhi, India3,291 views
Aarav was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at Rohini Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Aarav is 38, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until July, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Rohini Cancer Centre 3 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly.
We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,000 goes:
• Transport to Rohini Cancer Centre: $110
• Scans and lab work: $145
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,400
• Household costs while unable to work: $345

Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,003 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless!
Thinking of you, Satish. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Kozhikode but we're thinking of you.
Sending strength, Satish. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest!
gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 23 people at work
Sending good thoughts. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Dar es Salaam this morning. All the best.
