Help Lavanya through 8 rounds of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Supporting Lavanya through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to the Coimbatore Oncology Institute, and living costs while She cannot work.
🇮🇳 641558, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India438 views
Lavanya was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in December. The oncology team at the Coimbatore Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in February. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Lavanya is 48, worked as a bank teller until December, 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 Coimbatore Oncology Institute 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $600 goes:
• Transport to the Coimbatore Oncology Institute: $105
• Scans and lab work: $195
• Household costs while unable to work: $300

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Coimbatore!
Sending good thoughts, Dhanush. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
Hang in there, Dhanush. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
is transport to the Coimbatore Oncology Institute the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Transport to the Coimbatore Oncology Institute is $105 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
Praying for you, Dhanush. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Coventry this morning. Take care.
Best of luck, Dhanush. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Nagpur this morning. Blessings.
Wishing Lavanya a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless
