Fighting kidney cancer: help Lipi afford treatment in Pune

Lipi is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Pune
Lipi was diagnosed with kidney cancer in May. The oncology team at the Pune Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Lipi is 36, worked as a farmer until May, 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 Pune Oncology Institute 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $790 • Scans and lab work: $130 • Transport to the Pune Oncology Institute: $170 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95 • Household costs while unable to work: $315 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
