Help Mukesh through 8 rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer
Mukesh is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 Delhi, India663 views
Mukesh was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in May. The oncology team at New Delhi University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Mukesh is 58, worked as a construction supervisor 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 New Delhi University Hospital 2 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 $1,200 goes:
• Transport to New Delhi University Hospital: $80
• Household costs while unable to work: $165
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $850
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Mukesh?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about transport to New Delhi University Hospital, advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.
thinking of you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Put this on a community board in Niterói this morning. Thinking of New Delhi.
hope things get better soon, Pankaj. Hope you get there. Blessings.
