Gayathri's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund

Gayathri was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in March. The oncology team at the Varanasi Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Gayathri is 35, worked as a taxi driver until March, 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 the Varanasi 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $450 goes: • Transport to the Varanasi Oncology Institute: $85 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50 • Scans and lab work: $120 • Household costs while unable to work: $195 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
