Bhaktapur
Ganga was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at Bhaktapur Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Ganga is 31, worked as a bakery worker until August, 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 Bhaktapur 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,250 goes: • Scans and lab work: $140 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $980 • Transport to Bhaktapur Regional Medical Center: $130 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Aarati
