Fighting cervical cancer: help Prachi afford treatment in Nizamabad

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Nizamabad University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Nizamabad
Prachi was diagnosed with cervical cancer in June. The oncology team at Nizamabad University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Prachi is 33, worked as a nurse until June, 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 Nizamabad 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,200 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $650 • Scans and lab work: $230 • Transport to Nizamabad University Hospital: $125 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $55 • Household costs while unable to work: $140 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
