Help Pradeep through 8 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma
Pradeep is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇱🇰 Colombo, Western, Sri Lanka1,202 views
Pradeep was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in November. The oncology team at Colombo University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in January. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Pradeep is 32, worked as a hairdresser until November, 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 Colombo 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $650
• Scans and lab work: $150
• Transport to Colombo University Hospital: $150
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $130
• Household costs while unable to work: $370

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Pradeep.
It's all in the list in the story. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the big one at $650, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
thinking of you, Jayanthi. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'll check back for the next update.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Riyadh.
