Fighting colon cancer: help Sanjay afford treatment in Philadelphia

Sanjay is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Sanjay was diagnosed with colon cancer in July. The oncology team at Philadelphia Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Sanjay is 34, worked as a bank teller until July, 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 Philadelphia 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $5,000 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $470 • Transport to Philadelphia Cancer Centre: $1,000 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,530 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Arjun
