Shruthi was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in June. The oncology team at Mumbai University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Shruthi is 47, worked as a tailor 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 Mumbai 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,700 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $270 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105 • Scans and lab work: $225 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Gopal
