Ayaan's multiple myeloma treatment fund
12 rounds of treatment are planned at the London Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom6,029 views
Ayaan was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in February. The oncology team at the London Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Ayaan is 35, worked as a tailor until February, 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 the London Oncology Institute 2 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $4,650 goes:
• Transport to the London Oncology Institute: $590
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,550
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $390
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,120
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
this could happen to any of us. After 20 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
Sending love, Vandana. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of London.
Stay strong, Vandana. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning.
