Help Geetha through 10 rounds of treatment for colon cancer

Geetha is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Geetha was diagnosed with colon cancer in May. The oncology team at Pune University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Geetha is 25, worked as a shop owner until May, 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 University Hospital 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 $1,950 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,350 • Scans and lab work: $210 • Transport to Pune University Hospital: $90 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $80 • Household costs while unable to work: $220 Glad we found this place.
