Help Mitu through 10 rounds of treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma
Mitu is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Mitu was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in September. The oncology team at Mumbai University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Mitu is 43, worked as a nurse until September, 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 Mumbai University Hospital 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $190
• Transport to Mumbai University Hospital: $135
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Mumbai.
