Help Malathi through 6 rounds of treatment for kidney cancer
Malathi is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India696 views
Malathi was diagnosed with kidney cancer in March. The oncology team at Chennai Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Malathi is 31, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until March, 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 Chennai 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $500
• Scans and lab work: $135
• Transport to Chennai Regional Medical Center: $110
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75
• Household costs while unable to work: $280
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope things get better soon. Get well soon. Love from Gazipur
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
