Help Saanvi through 12 rounds of treatment for a rare sarcoma

Supporting Saanvi through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to Bengaluru Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.

Saanvi was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in March. The oncology team at Bengaluru Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Saanvi is 40, worked as a construction supervisor until March, 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 Bengaluru Cancer Centre 3 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 $1,400 goes: • Scans and lab work: $105 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $145 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($592 in total) the plan for scans and lab work is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($335 in total) I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. We're at 8% thanks to 6 of you. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

      stay strong. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

        Stay strong, Anand. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Oakland.

              This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Córdoba!
