Harini's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund
Supporting Harini through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to the Durgapur Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇮🇳 Durgapur, West Bengal, India2,288 views
Harini was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in March. The oncology team at the Durgapur Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Harini is 34, worked as a bakery worker 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 Durgapur Oncology Institute 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 $1,600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $910
• Scans and lab work: $200
• Transport to the Durgapur Oncology Institute: $70
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $130
• Household costs while unable to work: $290
Glad we found this place.

I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Magelang so I could bring a meal. Take care!
Thinking of you and your family, Shruthi. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Malang.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 18 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
