Help Shakil through 6 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer
6 rounds of treatment are planned at the Newcastle upon Tyne Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Shakil was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August. The oncology team at the Newcastle upon Tyne Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Shakil is 57, worked as a construction supervisor until August, 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 Newcastle upon Tyne Oncology Institute 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $6,350 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $720
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,250
• Transport to the Newcastle upon Tyne Oncology Institute: $380
With deep gratitude,
Popy

rooting for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Rajkot but we're thinking of you
Wishing you peace, Popy. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne!
