Riddhi's kidney cancer treatment fund

Riddhi is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Riddhi was diagnosed with kidney cancer in March. The oncology team at Mumbai University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Riddhi is 31, worked as a primary school teacher until March, 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 Mumbai University Hospital 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 $1,250 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $135 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $810 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120 • Scans and lab work: $185 Thank you for reading my story.
