Saket
Divya was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in July. The oncology team at the Saket Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Divya is 31, worked as a taxi driver 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 the Saket 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,050 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,400 • Scans and lab work: $240 • Transport to the Saket Oncology Institute: $85 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105 • Household costs while unable to work: $220 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    Thinking of you, Anitha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from London.

      hang in there, Anitha. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Embakasi donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Saket.

        Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Saket.
