Durgapur
In June I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Durgapur University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 26, I worked as a farmer until June, 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 Durgapur 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 $600 goes: โ€ข Household costs while unable to work: $220 โ€ข Scans and lab work: $105 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90 โ€ข Transport to Durgapur University Hospital: $185 If you're reading this, thank you. - Satish

Updates from Satish

  1. Quick update: $166 raised so far (28%). the plan for nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($156 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Small update. $46 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
