Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Vrushali afford treatment in Pune

Vrushali is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Vrushali was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in August. The oncology team at Pune University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Vrushali is 25, 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 her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Pune 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,850 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,200 • Scans and lab work: $280 • Transport to Pune University Hospital: $90 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70 • Household costs while unable to work: $210 Every share and every dollar helps.

    Sending love, Atul. It takes guts to ask. Well done

    • Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Radom so I could bring a meal. Take care.
