Help Ravi through 10 rounds of treatment for stage 2 breast cancer
Supporting Ravi through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to the Chennai Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇮🇳 Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India710 views
Ravi was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in May. The oncology team at the Chennai Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Ravi is 52, worked as a shop owner until May, 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 the Chennai 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Transport to the Chennai Oncology Institute: $85
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $570
• Scans and lab work: $150
• Household costs while unable to work: $295
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Sending love, Neelam. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best.
hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Cairo.
Is transport to the Chennai Oncology Institute the biggest cost or is there more coming?
You're not alone, Neelam. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Birmingham.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Chennai.
Take care, Neelam. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
you're not alone, Neelam. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. God bless.
You're not alone, Neelam. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Aurora
