Alok was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in July. The oncology team at the Thane Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Alok is 31, worked as a tailor until July, 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 the Thane Oncology Institute 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,050 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,350 • Scans and lab work: $200 • Transport to the Thane Oncology Institute: $90 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $140 • Household costs while unable to work: $270 Thanks for reading all this.

  • Sending love, Pradeep. Get well soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.

    • Hope things get better soon, Pradeep. Hope this works out for you. After 7 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.

      • I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Depok.
