Deepa was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in April. The oncology team at the Nagpur Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Deepa is 42, worked as a tailor until April, 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 Nagpur 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 $1,050 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $520 • Scans and lab work: $210 • Transport to the Nagpur Oncology Institute: $95 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $40 • Household costs while unable to work: $185 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Naveen

  • Good luck, Naveen. Shared this with my family. After 20 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

    • Stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted. Take care.

      • It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope August is when things finally get easier. God bless.
