Siva was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in January. The oncology team at Kanpur Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Siva is 41, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until January, 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 Kanpur 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,500 goes: • Scans and lab work: $270 • Transport to Kanpur Cancer Centre: $165 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,065 Every share and every dollar helps.
