Geeta's multiple myeloma treatment fund
Supporting Geeta through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to the Kolkata Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇮🇳 India1,003 views
Geeta was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in September. The oncology team at the Kolkata Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Geeta is 42, worked as a hairdresser until September, 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 Kolkata 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Transport to the Kolkata Oncology Institute: $120
• Scans and lab work: $210
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050
• Household costs while unable to work: $320
Thank you so much.

hope things get better soon, Diya. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Rio de Janeiro.
Is transport to the Kolkata Oncology Institute the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Sure. The biggest one is transport to the Kolkata Oncology Institute, $120. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Mombasa this morning.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Bogotá but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Stay strong, Diya. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 6 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything
