Sabbir's acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment fund

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Aurangabad University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Aurangabad
In August I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. My oncology team at Aurangabad University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 46, I worked as a farmer until August, 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 Aurangabad University Hospital 5 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,300 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $470 • Scans and lab work: $140 • Transport to Aurangabad University Hospital: $160 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $125 • Household costs while unable to work: $405 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Sabbir
