Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Swetha afford treatment in Kozhikode
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Kozhikode Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Swetha was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in November. The oncology team at Kozhikode Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in February. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Swetha is 30, worked as a farmer until November, 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 Kozhikode Cancer Centre 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $200
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $740
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50
• Transport to Kozhikode Cancer Centre: $160
Thank you so much.

How is Swetha doing now?
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Kathmandu so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Chattogram.
hope things get better soon, Vishnu. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Mysuru this morning.
Wishing you the best. Wishing Swetha a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Kozhikode
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Kozhikode
Thank you. If you're in Kozhikode I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
sending good thoughts, Vishnu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. I hope February is when things finally get easier.
Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes!
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. Love from Dayton.
I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Gazipur.
