Fighting kidney cancer: help Kanchana afford treatment in Dehiwala

Kanchana was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at the Dehiwala Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Kanchana is 25, worked as a hairdresser until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Dehiwala 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,500 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105 • Household costs while unable to work: $380 • Scans and lab work: $155 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $860 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Kumari
