Fighting Hodgkin lymphoma: help Shakil afford treatment in Kochi
Supporting Shakil through Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Kochi University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇮🇳 Kochi, Kerala, India1,701 views
In June I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Kochi University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 35, I worked as a bus conductor 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 Kochi University Hospital 3 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 $450 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65
• Household costs while unable to work: $260
• Transport to Kochi University Hospital: $125
Thanks for reading all this.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Kochi
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team, advice is welcome too. I'll keep the page updated.
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
