Mangesh was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in April. The oncology team at the Hyderabad Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Mangesh is 26, worked as a hairdresser until April, 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 Hyderabad Oncology Institute 5 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,400 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $150 • Scans and lab work: $145 • Household costs while unable to work: $300 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $805 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
