Neelam's multiple myeloma treatment fund
Supporting Neelam through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Birmingham Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She cannot work.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom4,482 views
Neelam was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in April. The oncology team at Birmingham Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Neelam is 43, worked as a bakery worker until April, 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 Birmingham Regional Medical Center 4 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 $9,850 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $1,250
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $370
• Household costs while unable to work: $970
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,260
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Iztapalapa so I could bring a meal. Take care.
good luck, Umesh. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Mississauga
wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 23 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Salé
Take care, Umesh. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Iași but we're thinking of you!
Keep going, Umesh. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
