Mumbai
Nilesh was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in January. The oncology team at Mumbai University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Nilesh is 27, worked as a taxi driver until January, 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 4 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 $1,300 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75 • Household costs while unable to work: $195 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $900 • Transport to Mumbai University Hospital: $130 Thanks for being kind about this. - Apurva

  • Hope it all works out, Apurva. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Mumbai.
