Thane
Arif was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in May. The oncology team at Thane University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Arif is 45, worked as a bank teller until May, 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 Thane 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,950 goes: โ€ข Household costs while unable to work: $280 โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,500 โ€ข Transport to Thane University Hospital: $100 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Abdul

    • Kumiko Eri NakanoQuestion

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Arif!

      • Abdul Zahid MondalOwnerAnswer

        The list at the bottom is the whole picture. household costs while unable to work is the biggest at $280. It helps to be asked.

          Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
