Venkat was diagnosed with stomach cancer in September. The oncology team at Coimbatore University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Venkat is 32, worked as a hairdresser until September, 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 Coimbatore University Hospital 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $720 • Scans and lab work: $125 • Transport to Coimbatore University Hospital: $175 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75 • Household costs while unable to work: $255 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Ganesh
