Alka's non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund

Alka was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in May. The oncology team at Pune Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Alka is 49, worked as a bank teller until May, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Pune Cancer Centre 5 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $550 goes: • Transport to Pune Cancer Centre: $85 • Household costs while unable to work: $170 • Scans and lab work: $190 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105 If you're reading this, thank you. - Komal
