Fighting Hodgkin lymphoma: help Kunal afford treatment in Mumbai
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Mumbai University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India1,548 views
Kunal was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at Mumbai University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Kunal is 47, worked as a tailor 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 Mumbai University Hospital 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $130
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $55
• Household costs while unable to work: $370
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $645

Wishing you the best, Rani. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. Love from Ottawa.
Keep going, Rani. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
