Help Ritu through 4 rounds of treatment for cervical cancer

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

Ritu was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at the Coimbatore Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Ritu 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 Coimbatore 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 $1,200 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $580 • Scans and lab work: $190 • Transport to the Coimbatore Oncology Institute: $180 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50 • Household costs while unable to work: $200 Glad we found this place.
