Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Joy afford treatment in Tiruchirappalli
Supporting Joy through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to the Tiruchirappalli Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇮🇳 Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India1,624 views
Joy was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in January. The oncology team at the Tiruchirappalli Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Joy is 43, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until January, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Tiruchirappalli 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $650 goes:
• Transport to the Tiruchirappalli Oncology Institute: $125
• Scans and lab work: $115
• Household costs while unable to work: $300
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thanks for sharing this, Taslima. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Keep going, Taslima. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
Best of luck, Taslima. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best
Wishing Joy a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care
