Ruma's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund

Ruma is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Hubballi
In January I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at the Hubballi Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in May. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 28, I worked as a nurse until January, 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 the Hubballi Oncology Institute 3 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,100 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $630 • Transport to the Hubballi Oncology Institute: $180 • Household costs while unable to work: $290 Thanks for being kind about this.

    Praying for you, Ruma. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Hubballi.

      Best of luck, Ruma. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Obuasi.
