Help Apurva through 8 rounds of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Apurva is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 India1,372 views
Apurva was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August. The oncology team at Pune Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Apurva is 52, worked as a primary school teacher until August, 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 Pune Regional Medical Center 4 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 $1,150 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $650
• Scans and lab work: $100
• Transport to Pune Regional Medical Center: $105
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75
• Household costs while unable to work: $220
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
