Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Shruthi afford treatment in Rajkot
Shruthi is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Shruthi was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in May. The oncology team at Rajkot Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Shruthi is 48, worked as a primary school teacher until May, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Rajkot Cancer Centre 3 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $720
• Scans and lab work: $110
• Transport to Rajkot Cancer Centre: $110
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110
• Household costs while unable to work: $300
If you're reading this, thank you.
