Help Piumi through 12 rounds of treatment for colon cancer

Piumi is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Piumi was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at the Colombo Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Piumi is 31, worked as a primary school teacher 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 the Colombo Oncology Institute 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 $1,850 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050 • Scans and lab work: $160 • Transport to the Colombo Oncology Institute: $195 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $130 • Household costs while unable to work: $315 If you're reading this, thank you.
