Help Vikas through 12 rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer

Vikas was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in February. The oncology team at Aurangabad University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Vikas is 44, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until February, 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 Aurangabad University Hospital 5 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 $500 goes: • Scans and lab work: $105 • Household costs while unable to work: $135 • Transport to Aurangabad University Hospital: $100 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $160 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Divya
