Kanpur

Myra was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at Kanpur University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Myra is 31, worked as a bus conductor until August, 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 Kanpur 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $450 goes: • Transport to Kanpur University Hospital: $85 • Scans and lab work: $230 • Household costs while unable to work: $135 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Neha

Small update. $180 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.
Quick update: $232 raised so far (52%). I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 11% now ($50). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for household costs while unable to work is now scheduled.
