Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Harini afford treatment in Mumbai

12 rounds of treatment are planned at Mumbai Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Mumbai
In April I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. My oncology team at Mumbai Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in June. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 56, I worked as a shop owner until April, 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 Mumbai Cancer Centre 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 $1,250 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100 • Scans and lab work: $100 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
