Fighting thyroid cancer: help Ketki afford treatment in Pune

12 rounds of treatment are planned at Pune Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Pune
Ketki was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in May. The oncology team at Pune Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Ketki is 37, worked as a hairdresser 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 Pune Cancer Centre 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 $400 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $270 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45 • Transport to Pune Cancer Centre: $85 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Vaibhav

  1. Thank you all. We're at 24% now ($95). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($25 in total) the plan for nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
