Manchester
Priya was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in May. The oncology team at Manchester Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Priya is 31, worked as a bus conductor until May, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Manchester Regional Medical Center 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $7,600 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,650 • Scans and lab work: $770 • Transport to Manchester Regional Medical Center: $870 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $660 • Household costs while unable to work: $650 Every share and every dollar helps.

  • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Priya?

    • Shafiq KhatunOwnerAnswer

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about chemotherapy and medication not covered, advice is welcome too. Let me know if you want more detail.

  • hang in there, Shafiq. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.

    • Any update on how things are going in Manchester?

      • Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.

        • is it paid to the treatment center directly?

          • Shafiq KhatunOwnerAnswer

            It comes to me first, then I pay the treatment center myself and upload the receipt. I wouldn't be comfortable any other way. Let me know if you want more detail.

        • Take care, Shafiq. Get well soon. Sent it to 17 people at work. Thinking of Manchester.

          • our local church has an emergency fund, might be worth asking them.
