Standing with Anil: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs
Anil is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 Delhi, India531 views
In October I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. My oncology team at New Delhi University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in December. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 25, I worked as a taxi driver until October, 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 New Delhi University Hospital 2 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 $1,150 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $140
• Scans and lab work: $130
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $880
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

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.

So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Wishing you peace, Anil. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
