Haritha's a rare sarcoma treatment fund
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Patna Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In June I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at Patna Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 55, I worked as a bank teller until June, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Patna Regional Medical Center 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $195
• Transport to Patna Regional Medical Center: $170
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $670
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck, Haritha. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Milan
Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. I hope October is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Thinking of you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 9 people at work.
hope the doctors have good news. Put this on a community board in Surabaya this morning. God bless
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. After 8 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
take care, Haritha. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
thinking of you, Haritha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Hang in there. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
