Fighting multiple myeloma: help Rajan afford treatment in Mumbai

Rajan is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Rajan was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in June. The oncology team at the Mumbai Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Rajan is 36, worked as a bank teller until June, 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 Mumbai 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $700 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100 • Transport to the Mumbai Oncology Institute: $85 • Scans and lab work: $145 • Household costs while unable to work: $370 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
