Kanpur
Devi was diagnosed with colon cancer in July. The oncology team at Kanpur Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Devi is 55, worked as a bus conductor 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 Kanpur Regional Medical Center 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 $1,050 goes: • Transport to Kanpur Regional Medical Center: $135 • Scans and lab work: $230 • Household costs while unable to work: $240 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $445 If you're reading this, thank you. - Madhavan
