Help Yamini through 10 rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer
Yamini is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world482 views
Yamini was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in February. The oncology team at Rohini University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Yamini is 25, worked as a farmer until February, 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 Rohini University Hospital 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $700 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $165
• Scans and lab work: $260
• Transport to Rohini University Hospital: $160
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115
Thank you for reading my story.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Cairo.
Hang in there. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Hang in there, Vivaan. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care

Best of luck, Vivaan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Thinking of you and your family, Vivaan. Hope you get there. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Vivaan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
