Bithi's multiple myeloma treatment fund

Supporting Bithi through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Mumbai Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.

Bithi was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in July. The oncology team at Mumbai Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Bithi is 44, worked as a bakery worker until July, 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 Mumbai Regional Medical Center 4 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $900 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95 • Household costs while unable to work: $300 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $505 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Tahmina

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($189 in total) I made the first payment toward chemotherapy and medication not covered. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
