Fighting multiple myeloma: help Ashok afford treatment in Hubballi
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Hubballi Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇮🇳 India1,090 views
Ashok was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in May. The oncology team at Hubballi Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Ashok 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 him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Hubballi Regional Medical Center 3 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 $1,800 goes:
• Transport to Hubballi Regional Medical Center: $55
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,400
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65
• Scans and lab work: $280
With deep gratitude,
Meena
