Fighting kidney cancer: help Darshan afford treatment in Nagpur

Supporting Darshan through kidney cancer: medication, transport to the Nagpur Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.

Nagpur
Darshan was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at the Nagpur Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Darshan is 57, worked as a nurse until August, 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 the Nagpur Oncology Institute 2 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 $2,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250 • Scans and lab work: $190 • Transport to the Nagpur Oncology Institute: $100 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65 • Household costs while unable to work: $395 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
