Murugan was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August. The oncology team at Pune University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Murugan is 32, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until August, 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 Pune University Hospital 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 $1,350 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $230 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $830 • Transport to Pune University Hospital: $175 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115 Thanks for being kind about this. - Bhavani
