Help Naveen through 8 rounds of treatment for stage 2 breast cancer
Naveen is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Naveen was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in September. The oncology team at Saket Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Naveen is 46, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until September, 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 Saket Cancer Centre 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $320
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $825
If you're reading this, thank you.

We're at 12% thanks to 5 of you. I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work. More news soon.
Update from Saket: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 10% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

You're not alone. Wishing Naveen a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best
Best of luck, Ishita. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
Hope you get there. Sent it to 24 people at work. Greetings from Kasarani.
