Harish was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Mumbai University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Harish is 29, worked as a nurse until August, 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 Mumbai University Hospital 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $450 goes: • Transport to Mumbai University Hospital: $120 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90 • Household costs while unable to work: $240 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Wishing you the best, Ravi. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

      Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
