Standing with Ananya: multiple myeloma treatment costs

Supporting Ananya through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Pune Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.

Pune
In February I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. My oncology team at Pune Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in April. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 55, I worked as a taxi driver until February, 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 Pune Cancer Centre 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 $1,500 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $200 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $990 • Scans and lab work: $270 • Transport to Pune Cancer Centre: $40 Thanks for reading all this. - Ananya

Updates from Ananya

  1. Thank you all. We're at 38% now ($572). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Small update. $382 so far, I made the first payment toward chemotherapy and medication not covered.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 14% funded and the plan for transport to Pune Cancer Centre is now scheduled.

    Quick response, great follow-up

    This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.

    This is the kind of person who restores your faith in humanity. They didn't just offer help; they genuinely cared about my wellbeing and followed through on every commitment.
