Help Nirali through 4 rounds of treatment for early-stage lung cancer

Supporting Nirali through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to Pune Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.

Pune
Nirali was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at Pune Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Nirali is 42, worked as a bank teller 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 Pune Regional Medical Center 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,100 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $480 • Scans and lab work: $270 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115 • Household costs while unable to work: $235 Every share and every dollar helps.

    Sending strength, Kunal. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Pune

    • Caroline Zawadi Ssebuliba

      You're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Pune.

      • Juma Onyango Mrema

        Wishing you the best, Kunal. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Take care

              Sending good thoughts, Kunal. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
