12 rounds of treatment are planned at the Mumbai Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Rajan was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in September. The oncology team at the Mumbai Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Rajan is 56, worked as a hairdresser until September, 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 2 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 $450 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $135 • Transport to the Mumbai Oncology Institute: $100 • Scans and lab work: $140 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Isha

  • You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Peshawar but we're thinking of you. God bless.
