Sakshi was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August. The oncology team at Jabalpur University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Sakshi is 53, worked as a hairdresser until August, 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 Jabalpur University Hospital 3 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 $1,100 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $510 • Scans and lab work: $115 • Transport to Jabalpur University Hospital: $120 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90 • Household costs while unable to work: $265 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Kunal

  1. Small update. $40 so far, I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Update from Jabalpur: I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. We're at 13% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($140 in total) I made the first payment toward transport to Jabalpur University Hospital. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Salem donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
