Fighting cervical cancer: help Karan afford treatment in Pune

12 rounds of treatment are planned at the Pune Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Pune
Karan was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at the Pune Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Karan is 57, worked as a tailor 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 the Pune Oncology Institute 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,800 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150 • Scans and lab work: $135 • Transport to the Pune Oncology Institute: $110 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65 • Household costs while unable to work: $340 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
