Mahesh's colon cancer treatment fund

Mahesh was diagnosed with colon cancer in March. The oncology team at the Pune Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Mahesh is 56, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until March, 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 Pune Oncology Institute 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 $400 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $240 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85 • Transport to the Pune Oncology Institute: $75 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
