Standing with Alamin: multiple myeloma treatment costs
Alamin is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Alamin was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Prayagraj Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Alamin is 46, 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 him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Prayagraj 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $730
• Scans and lab work: $195
• Transport to Prayagraj Cancer Centre: $185
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75
• Household costs while unable to work: $315
Thanks for being kind about this.
Updates from Mitu
Good news. Because of your gifts ($20 in total) the plan for household costs while unable to work is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Prayagraj: I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. We're at 3% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Small update. $53 so far, we've started the first stage.

I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Birmingham so I could bring a meal
Wishing you the best, Mitu. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Saket
Take care. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
