Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Sachin afford treatment in Nashik

4 rounds of treatment are planned at Nashik Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Nashik
Sachin was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in January. The oncology team at Nashik Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Sachin is 49, worked as a hairdresser 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 Nashik Regional Medical Center 5 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $950 goes: • Transport to Nashik Regional Medical Center: $90 • Household costs while unable to work: $230 • Scans and lab work: $185 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $445 Thanks for reading all this.

    Rooting for you, Prachi. Hope the doctors have good news. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Nashik!
