Help Mythili through 4 rounds of treatment for a rare sarcoma
Mythili is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Mythili was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in December. The oncology team at Saket University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Mythili is 44, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 Saket 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 $1,650 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,000
• Scans and lab work: $200
• Transport to Saket University Hospital: $120
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $125
• Household costs while unable to work: $205
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you peace, Pavithra. I hope things turn around soon. After 20 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours.
