Dhanalakshmi's cervical cancer treatment fund

Dhanalakshmi is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Dhanalakshmi was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at Bengaluru University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Dhanalakshmi is 31, worked as a primary school teacher until August, 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 Bengaluru University Hospital 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 $1,800 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100 • Scans and lab work: $120 • Transport to Bengaluru University Hospital: $115 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $130 • Household costs while unable to work: $335 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Sudhakar

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,157 in total) I made the first payment toward transport to Bengaluru University Hospital. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Bengaluru: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 40% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Small update. $455 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
