Mahesh's thyroid cancer treatment fund
Mahesh is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇱🇰 Sri Lanka409 views
Mahesh was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at Negombo Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Mahesh is 26, worked as a taxi driver until August, 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 Negombo Regional Medical Center 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $650 goes:
• Transport to Negombo Regional Medical Center: $90
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $490
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hang in there, Lasanthi. Wishing Mahesh a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 6 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
