Fighting kidney cancer: help Sunita afford treatment in Nagpur

4 rounds of treatment are planned at Nagpur University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Sunita was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at Nagpur University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Sunita is 24, worked as a shop owner 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 Nagpur University Hospital 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,400 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $770 • Scans and lab work: $230 • Transport to Nagpur University Hospital: $100 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110 • Household costs while unable to work: $190 With deep gratitude, Aarti

  • You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Hialeah.

    • You're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 37 people at work. Greetings from Kharkiv.

      • Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. After 15 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings

        • Hope things get better soon, Aarti. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Nagpur

          • Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Hyderabad so I could bring a meal

            • Rooting for you, Aarti. Shared this with my family. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too
