Gaurav's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund
Gaurav is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 Delhi, India682 views
Gaurav was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in July. The oncology team at the New Delhi Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Gaurav is 49, worked as a farmer until July, 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 New Delhi Oncology Institute 5 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 $700 goes:
• Transport to the New Delhi Oncology Institute: $115
• Scans and lab work: $280
• Household costs while unable to work: $305
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
