Help Nilmini through 6 rounds of treatment for stage 2 breast cancer
Supporting Nilmini through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to Jaffna Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.
🇱🇰 40060, Jaffna, Northern, Sri Lanka1,504 views
Nilmini was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in February. The oncology team at Jaffna Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Nilmini is 27, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until February, 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 Jaffna Regional Medical Center 3 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 $1,400 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $960
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $55
• Transport to Jaffna Regional Medical Center: $180
• Household costs while unable to work: $205
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Keep going, Tharindu. Wishing Nilmini a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Cox's Bazar.
How is Nilmini doing now?
take care, Tharindu. Wishing Nilmini a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Mumbai.
Keep going, Tharindu. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Davao City.
Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Hope it all works out, Tharindu. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in San Francisco but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Ballarat!
Hang in there, Tharindu. Wishing Nilmini a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Tharindu. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Dhaka donated after I showed her your page
Good luck, Tharindu. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Take care.
Stay strong, Tharindu. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Stay strong, Tharindu. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Abbottabad.
