Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Shakil afford treatment in Siliguri

Shakil is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

In May I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at Siliguri University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in July. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 33, I worked as a bakery worker until May, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Siliguri University Hospital 4 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $350 goes: • Transport to Siliguri University Hospital: $100 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75 • Household costs while unable to work: $175 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Shakil
