Runa's non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
Runa is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 India919 views
Runa was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in June. The oncology team at Kolkata Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Runa is 53, worked as a shop owner until June, 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 Kolkata Cancer Centre 2 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 $1,350 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $780
• Scans and lab work: $165
• Transport to Kolkata Cancer Centre: $70
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90
• Household costs while unable to work: $245
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope August is when things finally get easier.
How is Runa doing now?
Wishing you the best, Shefali. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
wishing you peace, Shefali. Hope you get there. After 6 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Kolkata.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about chemotherapy and medication not covered, advice is welcome too.
you're not alone, Shefali. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Liverpool so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. Love from Kraków!
so sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
