Help Sapana through 4 rounds of treatment for early-stage lung cancer
Sapana is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Sapana was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in June. The oncology team at Bhaktapur Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Sapana is 35, worked as a primary school teacher until June, 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 Bhaktapur Regional Medical Center 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $720
• Scans and lab work: $70
• Transport to Bhaktapur Regional Medical Center: $125
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $125
• Household costs while unable to work: $110
Glad we found this place.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Sapana?
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Bhaktapur.
