Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Tarun afford treatment in Gaya

Tarun is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Gaya
In July I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at Gaya Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 36, I worked as a shop owner until July, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Gaya Regional Medical Center 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $400 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $185 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110 • Transport to Gaya Regional Medical Center: $105 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
