Hubballi
Gopal was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in May. The oncology team at Hubballi Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Gopal is 58, worked as a hairdresser until May, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Hubballi Regional Medical Center 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,300 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $155 • Transport to Hubballi Regional Medical Center: $90 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,055 With deep gratitude, Harini
