Rashmi was diagnosed with stomach cancer in July. The oncology team at the Mumbai Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Rashmi is 35, worked as a nurse until July, 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 Mumbai Oncology Institute 2 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 $1,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $950 • Scans and lab work: $155 • Transport to the Mumbai Oncology Institute: $130 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95 • Household costs while unable to work: $220 Glad we found this place. - Amit
