Fighting multiple myeloma: help Naresh afford treatment in Kanpur
Supporting Naresh through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Kanpur University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇮🇳 Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India2,143 views
In May I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. My oncology team at Kanpur University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 53, I worked as a bank teller until May, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Kanpur University Hospital 4 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Transport to Kanpur University Hospital: $160
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $135
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,205
Glad we found this place.

Is transport to Kanpur University Hospital the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Sure. The biggest one is transport to Kanpur University Hospital, $160. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
