Mukesh's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund
Supporting Mukesh through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to Hialeah University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇺🇸 Hialeah, Florida, United States2,648 views
In February I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at Hialeah University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in May. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 41, I worked as a primary school teacher until February, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Hialeah University Hospital 5 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $10,200 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,750
• Scans and lab work: $980
• Transport to Hialeah University Hospital: $1,200
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $530
• Household costs while unable to work: $740
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you and your family, Mukesh. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Hialeah.
Take care. Get well soon. My neighbor in New Orleans donated after I showed her your page.
Stay strong, Mukesh. Shared this with my family. Take care
Hope things get better soon, Mukesh. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Arusha but we're thinking of you. Love from Arusha.
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
Hope it all works out. Get well soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Los Angeles
