Supporting Mythili through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to Patna University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.

Mythili was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August. The oncology team at Patna University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Mythili is 53, worked as a bus conductor until August, 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 Patna University Hospital 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,950 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,300 • Scans and lab work: $210 • Transport to Patna University Hospital: $150 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110 • Household costs while unable to work: $180 Thank you so much.
